Our goal is superior customer service to YOU, the taxpayer.

Guided by Oregon state law and administrative rules, we promise fairness, consistency, and equity in appraisals and assessment of Coos County Properties.

We're dedicated to the continual development and utilization of technology along with the use of proper appraisal methods, recalculation, and standards set by Statute; to maintain the basic foundation of property information for the taxpayer and public; to ensure basic understanding of the assessment process, while maximizing the efficient use of staff and resources.

The Assessor’s Office is primarily a source of information about Real property ownership and valuation (RMV, MAV, AV, SAV, & MSAV). 

Questions about the permissible land use(s) should be directed to the Planning Office (https://www.co.coos.or.us/planning).
