The Wasco County Assessor’s office will be mailing out property tax statements on Monday. Assessor Jill Amery says real market values continue to trend upward for most residential properties in Wasco County. Many commercial properties saw a correction and downturn in real property values. South Wasco County residents will most likely see an increase in their tax bills due to the new South Wasco County School District No. 1 Bond that was passed in the November 2020 election, but local option levies for the Dufur Recreation District and Shaniko have expired. Tax payments are due November 15. Payment in full by that dates receives a 3% discount.
