Multnomah county OREGON Division of Assessment & Taxation

[Kelvin Lee]

I received a notice from the Division of Assessment & Taxation regarding the recent transaction and the sales value of my recent purchase. The property hasn't been re-assessed over 12 yrs since the previous seller and my concern is volunteering info as such will spike up the property tax next year.  I know there is nothing I can stop County from digging information on the internet. Anyone experienced this before and how did you deal with their request?

They'll also come to your door and ask to take a look around the property.  They are in fact looking to reassess your property at a higher value.  I never return their calls or letters and if they show up on site my crew has specific instructions to escort them off the property and do their assessment from the public sidewalk.  All the information they need is on the county website.  You are under no obligation to provide any information.
