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. To see the complete study,
