1. What does the paid subscription to PA provide?

With a paid subscription you will be able to search by owner, in addition to address and property ID. You will also be able to see property flags and special assessments. These items denote special use, potential additional tax flags or additional taxes. There is also a property appraisal card, which shows details about a property.

2. Where do I find out if a property has special use (ie farm, forest, open space, etc)?

Under property flags (on the paid side of PA) you will see PATL, which denotes special use. PATL-NB denotes that there is an unbilled potential additional liability. You will need to call the Assessor’s office to get amount.

Under the Bills tab there is a description of the property flags that are on the properties.

Additionally, under property use you will see the property classification, which also notes the current use of the property.

3. How do I know if there is additional taxes ?

Under special assessments (on the paid side of PA) you could see multiple penalty types denoted and they will include the tax amount. Some examples are Omitted Property, Clerical Roll Correction, Late filing penalty, designated forest penalty, enterprise removal, open space add tax, unzoned farm penalty, small tract penalty, etc.

Note that all properties outside of city limits will include fire patrol charges, which are NOT tax penalties.

4. How do I find additional owners?

Under the ownership heading there will be a drop down arrow, which will show all owners.

5. How do I find additional addresses?

Additional addresses is not shown anywhere. The Assessor’s office does not track specific units or addresses on properties. If you have questions about addressing, please contact the Planning department of the city in which the property resides, or the county planning department, if outside of city limits.

6. Does the appraisal card include sketches?

No, it does not. It has always been the policy of the Douglas County Assessor’s office to not make sketches available to the public, except through our front office. 

If you need a sketch or are looking for a single diagram or two, please reach out to assessment@co.douglas.or.us and our office can help assist you.

7. What is the cost and how many license(s) are needed for an Orion-PA Subscription?

The current fee for an Orion-PA subscription which includes additional features is $85.00. (see FAQ's above) The number of licenses needed depends on the number of offices needing a subscription. Each office will need an independent license, not EACH user.

8. Where do I send payment once an invoice is received?

Once monies are received you will be emailed your credentials to log in.
