How these numbers are made

Property tax: the 2025-26 Clackamas County billing rates for code area 115-040 (City of Gladstone, Gladstone School District, Metro), $20.1491 per $1,000 of assessed value, because the 2026-27 table was not yet posted. Code area 115-040 holds 2,255 of roughly 3,100 single-family tax lots in Gladstone in Metro's RLIS data; 115-002 (614 lots) has the same rates, and about 120 lots in code area 012-017 pay North Clackamas School District rates instead. No fire district line appears in these code areas. Oregon has no homestead exemption and no flat charges are added.
The starting assessed value ($261,505) is the median assessed value of single-family lots in code area 115-040 (July 2026 data). Your statement's assessed value is the number to use. Measure 5 compression is not modeled.
City of Gladstone utility bill from July 1, 2026 (monthly): water $34.77 base on a 3/4 meter plus block rates of $2.11, $3.25 and $4.38 per unit (CCF); sewer entered as one fixed charge of $88.67 = $15.90 stormwater + $38.87 city sewer collection + $33.90 Water Environment Services treatment, the three amounts in the City's July 1, 2026 rate table in its column order (Stormwater, City Sewer Collection, WES Sewer Treatment); none varies with water use. The page starts at 6 CCF, the City's typical-bill comparison use. Part of Gladstone is on Oak Lodge Water Services / Oak Lodge Sanitary District instead; its treatment pass-through is $92.00 a month, which is not modeled.
Garbage: Gladstone Disposal Co. rates effective July 1, 2026, which include weekly recycling and yard debris; the 35-gallon cart is the starting size.
Electricity: PGE Schedule 7 effective July 8, 2026 (year-round), the effective per-kWh rate with the 1.5% public purpose charge added, a fixed charge of $13.00 + $2.76 scaled by 1.015, plus $1.24, and use of 784 kWh a month (PGE's typical Schedule 7 customer). Gladstone's right-of-way use fee on PGE and NW Natural is not added because the rate was not found. Gas: NW Natural Schedule 2 as effective October 31, 2025 (the rate in effect through October 30, 2026; the new Schedule 2 rate, about $6.30 a month more at 54 therms from October 31, 2026, was not yet posted so it is not applied), 54 therms.
