On November 3rd, 2020, Multnomah County voters approved a measure to establish a tuition-free preschool program. The PFA program is designed to give 3 and 4 year-olds in Multnomah County access to “free, high-quality, developmentally appropriate, culturally responsive preschool experiences”.
The PFA program is funded by a personal income tax of 1.5% on taxable income over $125,000 for individuals and $200,000 for joint filers in Multnomah County. There is an additional tax of 1.5% on taxable income over $250,000 for individuals and $400,000 for joint filers.
The City of Portland Revenue Division will be collecting the tax on behalf of Multnomah County. All payments and filings should be sent to the City of Portland through the Portland Revenue Online (PRO) system. https://pro.portland.gov/_/
