Oregon Statutes guide the foreclosure process and isn’t subjective.
Taxes are considered delinquent if not paid by May 15th of each year. (Oregon Revised Statute 312.010) Once taxes have remained unpaid for three years the foreclosure process begins. The process can be stopped if certain conditions are met in making payment of taxes owing. The foreclosure process is a six year process.
