Figures from public records and the Census, each with its source. They describe the county's homes as a group, not the value of any one home.
How much could a lower assessment save on Umatilla County property taxes?
Tax rate used: $15.90 per $1,000 of assessed value (county average, fiscal 2025-26).
| Example | Tax saved |
