Forest Harvesters Pay Updated Oregon Taxes

For 2026 and 2027, Oregon taxes merchantable forest products harvested on forestlands, excluding each taxpayer’s first 25,000 board feet annually. Per 1,000 board feet, harvesters pay 90 cents for forest research and the Forest Research Laboratory, plus 21 cents for Oregon State University’s professional forestry education. A separate fire suppression tax is 62.5 cents per 1,000 board feet, subject to the exception in ORS 477.760. The tax for administering the Oregon Forest Practices Act rises from 253.46 cents to 265.44 cents per 1,000 board feet. That tax can cover no more than 40% of lawmakers’ approved administration costs, including salary adjustments for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
