What to do if you receive a postcard in the mail from the Assessor's Office.
Attention Homeowner:
Thank you for scanning the QR code on the postcard you received in the mail. You received this postcard because your property has been identified as one to be reviewed this year. Appraisal staff may visit your property and others in your neighborhood.
Appointments are optional. If you would like to schedule an appointment, or if you have questions, email is preferred at: appraisalsupport@multco.us or leave a voicemail at (503) 988-0078 with your preferred phone number, email, and a detailed message including the dates and times you would be available for an inspection appointment.

Property Values for 2024-2025 Property Taxes were determined as on January 1, 2024, and are not necessarily reflective of current market conditions.

Not all value reductions from an appeal will result in tax savings.
For more information, please contact our office.

Appeals must be filed by December 31 of the year in which your property was assessed.
