The Polk County Veterans Service Office assists each Veteran in applying for VA Benefits (compensation, pension, and other entitlements) to which they may be entitled. The Service Officer and staff are advocates for Polk County Veterans and dependent claims. Making a difference in Veterans' lives is our most important focus.

Oregon laws provide property tax exemption for property owned, being purchased or leased by specified institutions and organizations. The most common institutions or organizations are religious, burial grounds and cemeteries, fraternal, charitable (which include literary, benevolent and scientific), schools, daycares and commercial facilities under construction.

​Disabled and senior citizens can "borrow" money from the state of Oregon to pay property taxes.

A disabled veteran (40% or more), or the surviving spouse/registered domestic partner of a veteran, may be entitled to a Veteran Exemption on property taxes. The filing period is between January 1st and April 1st of the assessment year.
