General Information
The Multnomah County personal income tax was created when voters approved Ballot Measure 26-48 in May 2003. It is a three-year measure that raises local funds to prevent further cuts to Multnomah County’s public schools and programs that help the County’s most vulnerable residents. It is intended to be a temporary, local answer to recent state budget cuts and a poor economy.
The tax is a 1.25 percent levy on the Oregon taxable income of Multnomah County residents reduced by an exemption amount ($5,000 for joint filers and $2,500 for single filers). Oregon taxable income includes most income, but Social Security benefits and federal and state retirement income will not be taxed.
The tax provides an estimated $128 million this year. The bulk of the money ($89-$91 million) will be divided equally, on a per-pupil basis to all county public school districts. The remainder will be spent on public safety and programs that serve the elderly, disabled and mentally ill.
