FWIW, Oregon is a terrible state for small business owners. Income and
property taxes are both extremely high. The state legislature recently added
to the burden by imposing a 3% income tax surcharge. This on top of a personal
state income tax rate of 9% for most people. Corporate taxes are even worse.

Government regulations and restrictions are also excessive and burdensome.
Since Oregon government on all levels is full of environmental extremists
(remember the Spotted Owl controversy?), you're not likely to be approved for
ANY real estate venture that involves towers or radiation of RF energy.

Of course there is no sales tax and car tags are only $30 for 2 years. But
trust me, you'll pay for this many times over when you get your income tax,
property tax, and workers compensation bills. Been there, done that, got the
hell out of there!
