Greetings!
We at the Portland Housing Center would never tell you how to vote, but we would like to remind you that as homeowners (or future homeowners) you will want to be aware of how the choices you make in this year's election will affect you. There are many ballot measures on this year's ballot that may have an impact on your future property tax bills, and it can be challenging to weigh your personal financial situation against the important issues on the ballot.
Tomorrow, November 4th, at 8:00pm is the last chance to turn in your ballot. We hope you'll make your voice heard.
