Ashland property tax: where it goes
A Ashland house pays 1.584% of its taxable value in property tax. For a house at $369,391 of value before exemptions, that's about $5,850 a year.
Tax is levied on assessed value (AV), the lesser of real market value (RMV) or maximum assessed value (MAV).
Rates are from Jackson County's 2026-27 tax rate sheet. The assessed-to-market ratio used to estimate the typical assessed value is still from the 2025 roll, because the 2026 code area totals were not found.

Ways to pay less
- Pay the property tax in full by the November 15 due date. Paying the full year by November 15 takes 3% off; paying two-thirds takes 2% off. The one-third installment gets no discount. If the 15th falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date moves to the next business day. How: Pay Jackson County Taxation online, by mail (postmarked by the due date) or at a county drop box.
- Seniors and disabled homeowners: property tax deferral. If you qualify, the Oregon Department of Revenue pays your county property taxes on November 15 each year. A lien is placed on the property and deferral accounts accrue 6 percent interest yearly. The household income limit for 2026 is $70,000. How: File the application with the county assessor by April 15, or late from April 16 to December 1 with a fee.
- Disabled veterans and surviving spouses: property tax exemption. Veterans with disabilities of 40 percent or more, and qualifying surviving spouses or partners, may exempt $27,092 or $32,512 of their homestead's assessed value. The amount increases by 3 percent each year. How: File the claim with the county assessor on or before April 1.
