Multnomah CPPR SmartFile letter for existing businesses
A Multnomah County CPPR account-access guide for existing businesses with renewal-style records.
Summary
For an existing Multnomah CPPR account, the SmartFile letter and account facts are part of the filing record. If the letter is missing, the business changed ownership, moved, closed, or has account-status questions, contact the county instead of treating the case as a normal renewal packet.
SmartFile/account access is a county workflow, not a product login.

What to collect
Collect the SmartFile letter, account number, business name, owner details, January 1 location, prior return, asset list, disposal notes, leased property details, and owner RMV support.
When the letter changes the workflow
A missing letter, new owner, closed business, moved business, first-time filing, or account correction request can change the filing lane. Do not flatten those into a normal asset-register task.
When to stop
Stop for new account setup, lost access, sale, closure, move, late filing, appeal, exempt property, industrial property, or county correspondence.
Common questions
Can Business Property Desk recover my SmartFile letter?
No. Account access and SmartFile letter issues belong to Multnomah County.
Can I file without the account details?
Use Multnomah official instructions. If the account status is unclear, stop before preparing a routine packet.
