Curry County Clerk
About the Curry County Clerk
Curry County occupies Oregon's far southwest coastal corner, where roughly two-thirds of the land is federal forest and refuge — Siskiyou National Forest and the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge among them. The county's economy has shifted from its gold-mining-era roots into forestry, agriculture, and tourism, and it holds an unusual claim to fame: most of the Easter lily bulbs grown commercially in the United States come from Curry County's coastal nursery fields. With federal land taking up so much of the county and the population holding fairly steady in recent years, the Clerk's office in Gold Beach handles a modest, small-town volume of filings for the private land that remains.
Cities and Communities Served
Recording jurisdiction runs countywide, not by city limits — if the property sits anywhere within Curry County, this is the Clerk’s office that will accept the deed. That includes:
Incorporated cities: Brookings (the county's largest city), Gold Beach (county seat), and Port Orford.
Unincorporated communities: Agness, Marial, and Ophir, along with other small communities scattered along the Rogue River corridor.
Curry County falls within the legal service areas of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and the Coquille Indian Tribe, though both tribes' confirmed reservation and trust land is documented as being located in neighboring Coos County rather than within Curry County's own boundaries.

How to File a Document
- Prepare Your Document: Make sure your deed meets Oregon's formatting and content requirements before you file.
- Get It Notarized: Have the document signed in front of an Oregon notary public or other authorized official. No notary nearby in Gold Beach? Oregon allows remote online notarization — you can have your Curry County deed notarized online by an Oregon-commissioned notary instead.
- Meet Oregon's First-Page Requirements: Oregon law requires your deed's first page to show the title, grantor and grantee names, the true consideration, and an address for tax statements. If your document doesn't already include this, you'll need to attach a cover sheet, which adds $5 to the recording fee.
- Record It: You can file in person or by mail with the Curry County Clerk's office.
- Pay the Recording Fee: Oregon recording fees are set individually by each county and change periodically — check the current fee schedule or call the office to confirm the exact amount before filing.
- Keep Your Receipt: Your recorded document (or a certified copy) is your proof of filing.
