In Deschutes County, DIAL finds the account; two offices answer different questions
The ordinary rule is stable, but a current record, boundary, rate, deadline, or personal fact can change the result. Last reviewed against the listed sources August 12, 2026.
Start with the Deschutes County DIAL search. DIAL searches by owner, account number, map and tax lot, address, subdivision, or mobile-home park. The result displays account, tax, valuation, and sales information. Take value, exemption, new-construction, or appeal questions to the Assessor. Take tax statements, payments, mailing-address changes, collection, or foreclosure questions to the Finance Tax Division.
DIAL is a convenient visual display. It does not guarantee accuracy, timeliness, or completeness. Confirm a value or appeal issue with the Assessor. Confirm a bill, payment, or tax-statement mailing address with the Tax Division. The parcel search finds the record. The Assessor or Tax Division answers the next question.
