Protect Oregon Homes: Protect Oregon Homes

BREAKING NEWS!

Thanks to your advocacy and efforts by the Oregon Association of REALTORS^®, the attempt to raise income taxes by $275 million on homeowners through House Bill 2456-A was defeated yesterday!

Instead, the House of Representatives adopted the “Minority Report,” which does not include efforts to limit or eliminate the home mortgage tax deductions.

This is a significant victory for Oregon’s homeowners, home buyers, and the housing market. But we need to remain on high alert.

Please keep an eye on this site to stay updated on the latest news. Again, thank you for your help in protecting Oregon’s homeowners!
