Oregon charges vehicle privilege tax (dealer-paid) / vehicle use tax of 0.5% statewide on vehicles, with no local add-on. A trade-in does not reduce the taxable price here.
Oregon has no sales tax; the 0.5% privilege tax is imposed on the dealer, who may pass it through as a separate line item.
Title fees depend on MPG: 0-19 mpg $101; 20-39 mpg $106; 40+ mpg $116; electric $192.
Fees shown are the DMV's July 1, 2026 schedule.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Title | $106.00 |
| Registration (mpg-based) | ~$272 |
| Plates | $26.00 |
| County registration fee (Multnomah County, per two-year period (doubled for new vehicles); $60 in Washington/Clackamas) | $112.00 |
0.5% privilege tax applies to the retail price of a new vehicle placed in lease service; no tax on lease payments
Pick your city for the exact combined rate where you register, plus what title and registration run there.
0.5%. Oregon applies one rate statewide on vehicles, so it does not change from city to city.
The privilege tax base is the retail sales price of the new vehicle; Oregon DOR guidance does not reduce it for a trade-in (verify with ORS 320.400 definitions for the specific deal).
Title is $106.00. Two-year registration by combined MPG: 0-19 mpg $126; 20-39 mpg $136; 40+ mpg $216 (not enrolled in OReGO); all-electric $376. New vehicles sold with a manufacturer's certificate receive a four-year registration, so fees (and county fees) double: $272 for a 20-39 mpg car. County fees: Multnomah $112 per two years, Washington and Clackamas $60.
Yes, at $250. ORS 822.043: maximum $250 if the dealer uses an integrator for electronic titling, $200 otherwise (secondary confirmation; typical $250 per CarEdge).
