How these numbers are made
- Property tax: Douglas County's 2025-26 code rates for code area 00401, $14.6672 per $1,000 of assessed value (Roseburg School District 4, City of Roseburg); the 2026-27 rates were not published when checked. Most City of Roseburg code areas list the same $14.6672 total. Oregon has no homestead exemption.
- The starting value ($289,800) is the Census median market value, not an assessed value; Measure 50 assessed values are typically lower, so your own bill is likely less. Replace it with the assessed value from your tax statement.
- Water: City of Roseburg rates effective July 1, 2026: $2.36 per 100 cubic feet and the 3/4 inch Level 1 monthly demand charge of $19.46; higher levels pay more. Stormwater: $9.70 per month for a single-family unit. Sewer: RUSA's $60.00 per month per EDU, billed separately by RUSA. Roseburg's electric franchise fees were not checked.
- Garbage: Roseburg Disposal's city prices by cart size. Electricity: Pacific Power Schedule 4 with the 1.5% in its price summary and the delivery and supply credits as in other Oregon cities; Gas: Avista Schedule 410 plus the 3% Roseburg franchise fee. Not all homes have gas; Douglas Electric Cooperative and Umpqua Basin Water Association serve areas around Roseburg.
