Brown responded that while voters need some education on how the property tax system works, she “would love to have the ongoing property tax conversation in the state again.”

State Sen. Hass, D-Beaverton, chairman of the Senate Finance and Revenue Committee, proposed addressing the property tax system in bills filed in 2015 and 2017. He said he is uncertain whether he’ll propose a third iteration of the legislation in 2019.

To date, Brown has placed other priorities over property tax reform and other problematic areas in the state tax code, Hass said.
