PROPERTY TAX RESEARCH, MADE SIMPLER

Where to look, which office to contact, and how to request records.
Where to obtain records
Multnomah County Division of Assessment, Recording & Taxation
Official tax-record access and collection-stage guidanceHow to find the information
Use MultcoPropTax through the county Property Taxes page; it explicitly offers statements and amounts owed using Guest Login without a password, with optional subscriptions for expanded searching. TaxGraph shows five years of tax amounts/values and is not a complete unpaid ledger. For foreclosure payment questions the county publishes 503-988-3334. Delinquent Taxes & Liens distinguishes real property from business/manufactured/floating-property and other collection accounts.
For an existing record request, identify the county tax account, property location, tax type, tax years and desired as-of date. Specify the unpaid collection ledger, dated foreclosure list, court judgment, redemption calculation, county-owned sale record or surplus-proceeds record needed. Ask how current installments, prior delinquent years, payments, interest and legal costs are separated. Confirm the custodian for court files or surplus proceeds and request existing records; do not assume the county will create a custom unpaid-roll extract. Confirm copy, certification, research and extraction charges before ordering.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Multnomah County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”
Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
County-specific notes
Verified denotes reviewed published record-access instructions, including explicit staff-assisted tax-information routes; it does not certify a tested taxpayer query. Reviewed October 29, 2026. Ordinary tax statements, unpaid collections, dated foreclosure publications, redemption records, sales of county-owned land and surplus proceeds differ in scope. Confirm later payments and costs with the custodian. No taxpayer search, portal login, account registration, record request, payment or owner-list republication was performed.
