You can exempt part of the assessed value of the home you own and live in for each tax year in which you served at least one day of qualifying federal active duty as an Oregon National Guard or Reserve member. The exemption started at $60,000 of assessed value in 2005 and rises 3 percent each year.
File a claim with the county assessor where the property is, not with the state, using the Oregon Active Duty Military Service Member’s Exemption Claim Form. For help, call 503-378-4988 or 800-356-4222, or email questions.dor@oregon.gov.
Your federal active duty orders showing 179 days or more, and proof you own and live at the property.
