The Land Market in Lake
Lake County, Oregon is a remote high-desert region in south-central Oregon. Lakeview, the county seat, sits at 4,800 feet and bills itself as the 'Tallest Town' in Oregon. The county includes Summer Lake, Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, and large tracts of public land. Per-acre prices are moderate, with irrigated hay land commanding a premium over raw sagebrush. The area is known for hunting (mule deer, pronghorn), fishing, and hot springs. Winters are cold and snowy at this elevation.
Tax Lien & Deed Investing in Oregon
Oregon is a tax deed state, not a lien state. Counties foreclose on delinquent properties after 3 years and sell them at public auction. There is no redemption period after foreclosure. Interest accrues at 16% annually on delinquent taxes (1.33%/month). Tax payments are due November 15. Oregon auctions are competitive, particularly for desirable properties. The lack of redemption period means buyers get clean title immediately at auction.
