Overview

Oregon is known for its breathtaking natural beauty. From volcanic peaks to blissful beaches, there’s something for every nature-lover. Another attractive thing about the state – no sales tax! Unfortunately, the housing market has skyrocketed which can make moving there a bit expensive. Worst of all, Oregon comes in at #1 for most taxes on those making over $75,000.
