Property taxes

From Property Tax Compare, worked out from the counties’ own records for tax year 2025-26.

A typical $600,000 home in Beaverton pays about $7,100 a year in property taxes; most homes there, $6,500 to $7,800. A new home at that price starts at about $7,100 a year once fully taxed. Homes here are taxed at about 54% of their market value.

Estimates, not a tax bill or tax advice. A listing shows a particular home’s current bill, and in Oregon that bill stays with the house when it is sold.
