In Oregon, real property is normally subject to foreclosure three years after the taxes become delinquent. Property taxes can be paid in full by November 15 or in three installments: November 15, February 15, and May 15. If the taxes are not paid by then, they are considered delinquent as of May 16.
· May 16 of the following year they are one year delinquent;
· May 16 of the next year they are two years delinquent;
· May 16 of the year after they are three years delinquent.
