Which tax jurisdictions Wood Village is actually in
Wood Village is in Multnomah County. Oregon’s local tax boundaries do not follow city limits or ZIP codes, so this is worth being precise about.
- Inside the Metro district, so Metro SHS applies to income above $128,000 single / $205,000 joint.
- Inside Multnomah County, so Preschool for All applies above $125,000 single / $200,000 joint.
- Not in the City of Portland — no Arts Tax.
- Inside the TriMet district, so the TriMet self-employment tax reaches self-employed people working here — see transit taxes.
The local economy, and what it means for a tax return
Retail and commercial along the Halsey and 238th corridors, distribution along I-84, and a residential population working across the east metro.
We work with clients around the Halsey Street commercial strip, the I-84 corridor, Fairview and Troutdale on either side and Gresham to the south.
Who we work with in Wood Village
- Retail and commercial businesses along the Halsey corridor

What we do most of in Wood Village
Working with us from here
About twenty-five minutes from the Clackamas office via I-205 and I-84.
Most clients outside the immediate Clackamas area work with us remotely — secure document exchange, a phone or video appointment, and e-filing. If you would rather sit across a desk, both offices do that too: Clackamas and The Dalles.
Questions we get from Wood Village
Do the Portland taxes apply here?
Preschool for All does, because it follows Multnomah County. The Arts Tax does not, because it follows the City of Portland.
Do I owe Metro SHS?
Yes on income above the threshold — Wood Village is inside the Metro district.
Can you work remotely with us?
Yes. Most east-county clients never come to an office.
We are a very small city. Are there any city taxes here?
No city income or business income tax of the kind Portland levies. What applies is Oregon, Metro SHS above the threshold, and Multnomah County Preschool for All above its threshold. Businesses selling into Portland may still pick up the city tax on the sourced share.
We are a two-person business. Is bookkeeping worth outsourcing?
Usually once there is payroll, inventory or more than one revenue stream. Below that, a well-set-up file you maintain yourself is often the better value — we will tell you which you are.
