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.
Type your own numbers and see the same car priced as cash and as a loan, with the taxes and state fees for Oregon. Nothing you type leaves this page.
To see a lease, pick a vehicle. A lease is priced on one car: what it is expected to be worth at the end (its residual) and the leasing company's money factor change by model and by month.
An estimate on the numbers you type, not an offer of credit or a quote from any dealership. Starting loan rates are Rateous's rates for each credit range and term; they are not an offer from any lender. The documentary fee starts at an example figure, the state's legal cap where it has one or $599 where it does not, not any dealership's fee; each dealership sets its own. Taxes and state fees are estimates for Oregon; the dealership's paperwork and your motor vehicle agency have the final numbers. Nothing you type is sent, saved, or used to check your credit.
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.
On a $35,000 new car with a $37,000 sticker, registered in Portland, no trade-in: the same figures the calculator above uses. The dealership's documentary fee is its own and is not included.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Title fee | $106.00 |
| Registration (est., mpg based) | $272.00 |
| License plate fee | $26.00 |
| County registration fee (Multnomah County, per two-year period (doubled for new vehicles); $60 in Washington/Clackamas) | $112.00 |
| In all | $516.00 |
Oregon taxes the vehicle's price when the leased car is titled. The leasing company pays it and it is carried in the lease, so it shows up in your payment rather than as a separate tax on each payment. 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 (ORS 320.400).
On a $35,000 new car with a $37,000 sticker, registered in Portland: Title fee $106.00, Registration (est., mpg based) $272.00, License plate fee $26.00, County registration fee (Multnomah County, per two-year period (doubled for new vehicles); $60 in Washington/Clackamas) $112.00, about $516.00 in all. 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. Under ORS 822.043, the maximum is $250 when the dealership titles electronically through an integrator, and $200 otherwise.
