Find the Parcel, Read the Value, and Finish the Tax Task
Search Lane County property assessment and tax records by account number, map and tax lot, address or owner name, then use the parcel record to understand real market value, maximum assessed value, assessed value, tax balances and mapped property information.
This guide goes beyond sending you to a county portal. It shows what to enter after the official search opens, how Oregon’s RMV–MAV–AV system works, where to find tax maps and recent sales, how to check the amount currently due, when to use Deeds & Records instead, and how to prepare a Lane County property-value appeal.
Quick answer: start with the Property Account Information portal
Use Lane County’s official Property Account Information portal for the assessment and tax account. The portal supports searches by account number, map and tax lot, address or name. If you already have the account number, use it first because Lane County account numbers are seven digits, including leading zeroes.

What it tells you |
What not to assume |
|---|---|---|
Account number |
Lane County’s property-tax account identifier. |
It is not the same thing as a recorded deed number. |
Map / tax lot |
Assessment mapping identifier used to locate the parcel. |
An online tax map is not a professional boundary survey. |
Owner display |
Owner/taxpayer information maintained for assessment and tax administration. |
It is not a title opinion or complete ownership-history report. |
RMV |
Real Market Value estimated under Oregon assessment rules. |
It is not automatically the taxable value. |
MAV |
Maximum Assessed Value used as Oregon’s constitutional/statutory taxable-value limit framework. |
It does not simply equal a fixed percentage of current RMV. |
AV |
Assessed Value—the lower of RMV or MAV for ordinary property. |
A lower AV does not mean the county thinks the home would sell for that amount. |
SAV |
Specially Assessed Value for qualifying use-assessed property. |
Special assessment can carry later additional-tax consequences. |
Tax amount / balance |
Tax charges or amount currently due for the account. |
Use the live current-balance feature before making a payment. |
Tax code / districts |
Taxing jurisdictions connected with the parcel. |
Two nearby properties can have different combined tax rates. |
RMV, MAV and AV are three different numbers
Oregon property taxation is not a simple “market value × assessment percentage” system. Lane County determines Real Market Value and Maximum Assessed Value, then ordinarily taxes the property using the lower value, called Assessed Value.
Market-oriented value as of January 1
Measure 50 taxable-value limit
Lower of RMV or MAV
Real Market Value (RMV)
Lane County states that Oregon law requires assessors to value property at 100% of real market value. For an ordinary property, RMV is generally the price an informed buyer and seller could reasonably agree to in an arm’s-length transaction as of the January 1 assessment date.
Maximum Assessed Value (MAV)
MAV is a separate Oregon taxable-value limit created under Measure 50. For established property, the normal framework permits a limited annual increase, commonly associated with the 3% rule, while specific property events can create additional MAV.
Assessed Value (AV)
AV is ordinarily the lower of RMV or MAV. This is the value used as the primary taxable assessed value before levy-rate and Measure 5 calculations.
Example |
RMV |
MAV |
AV |
Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Property A |
$500,000 |
$310,000 |
$310,000 |
MAV is lower. |
Property B |
$280,000 |
$310,000 |
$280,000 |
RMV is lower. |
Why can the tax bill rise when RMV falls?
Because the tax bill is not controlled by RMV alone. AV, taxing-district rates, local-option levies, bonds, special assessments and Oregon’s Measure 5 compression rules can all affect the final amount. A change in market value therefore does not translate dollar-for-dollar into the property-tax bill.

2026–27 regular appeal timing
Oregon’s regular property-value appeal period opens after the tax statement is received and runs through December 31, or the next business day if December 31 falls on a weekend or holiday. December 31, 2026 falls on a Thursday, so the ordinary 2026 filing date remains December 31 unless Lane County publishes a different legally applicable instruction.

Use Deeds & Records when the question becomes legal ownership

Lane County tax assessment search FAQs
How do I search Lane County property tax assessment records?
Open the official Lane County Property Account Information portal. Search by account number, map and tax lot, property address or owner name. Once the property opens, verify the address and account number before using the assessment or balance.
How many digits are in a Lane County property account number?
Lane County states that property account numbers contain seven digits, including any leading zeroes. Keep those zeroes when copying the account number into county property or tax-payment tools.
What is the difference between RMV, MAV and AV in Lane County?
RMV is Real Market Value. MAV is Maximum Assessed Value under Oregon’s Measure 50 framework. For ordinary property, AV or Assessed Value is the lower of RMV or MAV and is the primary taxable assessed value.
Why is my Lane County assessed value lower than market value?
Oregon separates market value from the constitutional maximum-assessed-value system. If MAV is lower than RMV, the property is ordinarily taxed using the lower MAV as AV. Therefore assessed value can be substantially below current market value without being an error.
How can I check the current Lane County property-tax balance?
Search the property in Lane County’s Property Account Information portal and use the “Get the Current Balance Due” option. Save the account number and current balance before opening the online payment system.
When are Lane County property taxes due?
Oregon’s regular installment dates are November 15, February 15 and May 15. Lane County states that when the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, the next business day becomes the due date. Always confirm the exact date on the current tax statement.
Does Lane County give a discount for paying property taxes in full?
Yes. Lane County publishes a 3% discount when the full property-tax account is paid by the first November deadline. Paying two-thirds by that deadline earns a 2% discount on the two-thirds amount.
How do I appeal a Lane County property assessment?
For ordinary current-year value disputes, file a petition with the Lane County Property Value Appeals Board after receiving the tax statement and by the applicable December 31 deadline. Identify the value being challenged, state your requested value and provide evidence supporting the property’s value as of the January 1 assessment date.
How much does a Lane County property-value appeal cost?
Lane County currently publishes a $35 filing fee for each tax account appealed. It also publishes a $350 maximum for qualifying multiple accounts with the same owner and same subdivision.
Where do I find a Lane County deed instead of an assessment record?
Use Lane County Deeds & Records at 125 East 8th Avenue in Eugene for recorded deeds, liens, contracts and conveyances. The assessment owner display is useful for tax administration but should not replace the recorded document when legal ownership matters.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:
Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
