State-specific seller details
Transfer tax
Oregon has no statewide real-estate transfer tax (ORS 306.815); the only exception is Washington County, which imposes $1 per $1,000 (0.10%) on the portion of price above $13,999.
Closing structure
Oregon is an escrow/title state — escrow and title companies handle closings, and an attorney is not required. The buyer and seller customarily split escrow fees, and practice on who pays the owner's title policy varies by region.
Disclosure
Sellers of residential property must deliver a Seller's Property Disclosure Statement to the buyer under ORS 105.464, unless an exemption applies.
State income tax on the gain
Oregon taxes the gain as ordinary income on graduated rates up to 9.9%; there is no separate reduced capital-gains rate for a home sale.
Agent commission
Real-estate commission is fully negotiable and typically falls within a customary range. Following the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer-agent compensation is no longer automatically seller-paid and is itself negotiable between the parties.

A real example: selling a median-priced home in Oregon
Oregon's median sale price was $521,368 in June 2026 (Redfin) — down 1.4% year-over-year, the only price decline in this batch. Oregon's state constitution actually prohibits new real estate transfer taxes, so like Louisiana there's no statewide transfer tax line item; the one exception is Washington County, which charges $1 per $1,000 (0.10%) on the portion of a sale price above $13,999. Running the numbers on the statewide median: a 5.5% commission comes to $28,675, transfer tax is $0 outside Washington County, and closing costs of 0.5%–1.4% add roughly $4,953 at the midpoint (Oregon splits escrow fees between buyer and seller, so this range already reflects the seller's half) — total deductions near $33,628, about 6.45% of the sale price.
A home in Washington County (the Portland suburbs — Hillsboro, Beaverton, Tigard) would add about $507 in transfer tax on top of that — the one place in the state where the "$0 transfer tax" line item doesn't hold.
