The state's Department of Revenue will pause operations at several locations and contact centers in October.
Updated on Sept. 30, 2026 in Openings & Closings
The Oregon Department of Revenue will implement temporary closures for staff training starting October 5, 2026. The Bend regional office will lead the closures, followed by district offices and contact centers across the state the next day.
Why it matters
These temporary service interruptions are scheduled to facilitate internal staff training sessions. While general operations will pause, the department is maintaining limited essential services and drop box access to minimize disruption for taxpayers.
The Bend regional office at 951 SW Simpson Avenue, Suite 100, will experience a closure period lasting until its reopening on October 7 at 1:30 p.m. Additional facilities in five other cities will shutter for one day on October 6.
The players
Oregon Department of Revenue
This is the state agency responsible for administering tax laws and collecting revenue for the state of Oregon.
The details
The closure affects the Bend regional office starting at noon on October 5, while other district offices and general contact centers will remain shut throughout October 6. Specialized contact centers handling debt collection, payroll, and withholding remain fully operational during this period.
Timeline
October 5, 2026: The Bend regional office closure begins at noon.
October 6, 2026: Statewide district offices and general contact centers close for training.
October 7, 2026: The Bend regional office reopens at 1:30 p.m.
Market Landscape
The agency is executing a planned operational pause that aligns with periodic administrative training cycles used to maintain compliance and service quality. This internal development strategy reflects broader efforts by state agencies to modernize workforce skills while balancing public accessibility.
Taxpayers attempting to visit the Bend office or reach general contact centers will need to plan around the training schedule to avoid service delays. Residents can still drop off tax payments and official documents using the designated secure drop boxes located at the regional office.
The takeaway
Taxpayers should finalize any urgent in-person business before the morning of October 5 to avoid the closure period. Planning submissions through the secure drop box or utilizing non-affected debt collection services can prevent disruptions to your financial compliance.
