Oregon's Measure 5 (1990) limits property taxes to $10 per $1,000 of real market value for education and $15 per $1,000 for government services. Assessed values are also capped at 3% annual increases regardless of market appreciation. The result is that Oregon's effective rates are surprisingly moderate despite high home values in Portland and Bend.
