December in Oregon, in numbers

Multnomah County — Portland — carries Oregon's December calendar on its own: 16 tax-title parcels at an in-person public auction on Wednesday, December 2, 2026. Published opening bids total $237,429, with a median of $3,900 and a range from $2,853 to $56,082.

No assessed values are published for these parcels in the data we ingest, so no ceiling estimates are shown for this sale. The opening bid is the county's floor, not a valuation.

How Oregon sales work

Oregon's pipeline is long by design. Property becomes subject to foreclosure after 3 years delinquent (ORS 312.010); after the foreclosure judgment the owner still has a 2-year redemption period. Only if the property is not redeemed is it deeded to the county — and a county tax-title auction like Multnomah's December 2 sale is where that property reaches buyers. There is no redemption after the county deed or the county's later sale.

Sixteen parcels is a one-evening research list: pull the county page below, verify each parcel against county records, and confirm auction registration and payment rules with the county's Tax Title program before December 2.

Questions

Is the opening bid the price of the property?
No. The opening bid is the floor the county published. Competitive bidding decides the final price, and the opening bid says nothing about the property's market value.

Can the owner redeem after a Multnomah County tax-title sale?
No. Oregon's redemption runs earlier in the pipeline — 2 years after the foreclosure judgment. If the property is not redeemed it is deeded to the county, and there is no redemption after the county's sale.
