Blue Mountain Eagle R E-ELECT CHRIS LABHART COUNTY COMMISSIONER Listening and working for all the people of Grant County Did You Know... Grant County has been named Oregon’s best value when it comes to property taxes, according to the financial website SmartAsset. This is the 2nd year for the rankings, and Grant County improved from 2nd last year, taking over the top spot from Baker County, who dropped to 4th. The rankings are based on things such as the crime rate, the quality of area schools and how low their property taxes are, and how the county uses the money they collect. Grant County ranked 3rd for overall crime, 6th for schools and had the 14th overall lowest property tax rate.
