Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to report leased or rented assets?

Yes, leased or rented property must be reported by BOTH the lessor & the lessee. The lease agreement determines which party will be paying the property taxes to the county. Should each party report the leased asset and the designation of who is to pay the taxes is different on each report, Jackson County will follow the instruction on the lessor return.ORS308.105(2) Personal property may be assessed in the name of the owner or of any person having possession or control thereof. Where two or more persons jointly are in possession or have control of any personal property, in trust or otherwise, it may be assessed to any one or all of such persons. You may be asked to provide a copy of the lease agreement if there is a dispute regarding the payment of the taxes.
