Paperless Property Tax Statements Now Available
Clackamas County offers an option for property tax statements to be delivered electronically through a service called eNoticesOnline.
Property owners who want to go paperless and/or prefer to receive documents online, rather than printed and mailed, can now sign up for electronic statement service using a unique account registration code printed on their property tax statements.
Once an account is registered, electronic statement notices will arrive via a registrant’s email and paper statements will no longer be delivered.

Your Postmark Counts! Mail Early!
All discounts are lost if paid or postmarked after the due date.
The USPS has stated that there are longer delays for processing mail.
Dropping your payment in a USPS mailbox on, or just before, the due date does not guarantee a timely postmark.
We encourage the following:
- Please mail your payment as early as possible to avoid receiving a late postmark
- Have your payment envelope manually postmarked by a USPS postal clerk
- Send your payment Certified Mail so you can track it and show proof of mailing
Yellow or green statement?
A yellow tax statement means your mortgage lender requested your payment information and may be paying your property tax. If you have any questions, call your lender. Keep your statement for your records and do not pay if your lender pays your taxes.
