What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

How this is calculated

The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

About Coos County, OR

Coos County's effective property tax rate of 0.676% sits below Oregon's statewide median of 0.746% and well under the national median of 0.794%. Among the state's 36 counties, it ranks 27th, placing it toward the lower-taxing end of Oregon's range. That gap shows up in actual bills: the median home value of $337,800 carries a median annual real-estate tax of $2,284. With median household income at $62,143 and per-capita income of $36,605, the county's tax load stays comparatively restrained against both state and national benchmarks. Communities like Coos Bay, along with Bandon and Broadbent, reflect a coastal county where property taxes take a smaller slice of household budgets than many places elsewhere. For anyone weighing where tax costs land, Coos County's below-average rate signals a lighter annual obligation than most of Oregon and the country overall.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Coos County, OR?
The effective rate is 0.68% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.68% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($337,800), the estimated annual bill is about $2,284.
Is Coos County's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 0.75% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Coos County assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Coos County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
