Tempted by a FREE template you found online? Oregon county clerks bounce them constantly. Generic forms tend to miss something the state actually checks for: the first-page content ORS § 205.234 requires, the paper and type-size standards under ORS § 205.232, or wording a notary can't properly acknowledge.
Get bounced back and you've lost the recording fee, the trip, and a week of waiting — with nothing to show for it. This form is drafted specifically for Oregon's requirements, and it's backed by a full refund if a recorder still rejects it.
What You Get With the Oregon Download

- Built for Oregon's First-Page Rules: Meets the ORS § 205.234 content requirements every one of the state's 36 counties checks for.
- Plain-English Instructions: A walkthrough for every blank on the form, not legal jargon.

A single $14.95 charge — less than an attorney would bill just to draft the document, and less than what you'd lose in recording fees if a free template gets rejected.

Or Have It Drafted for You
The $14.95 option above works for most people. But if your situation has more moving parts — a trust, a divorce settlement, more than two parties, or a legal description you're not confident copying correctly — it's worth having someone else draft it.

Getting Your Deed on Record in Oregon
Form filled out — now here's what actually gets it recorded:
- Fill in every field. Grantor and grantee names, the full legal description (the parcel's surveyed boundaries, not the street address), and the consideration paid. Don't have the legal description handy? Pull it from your existing deed or check your county's property records.
- Don't fight the format rules. ORS § 205.232 caps paper at 8½" × 14", requires 10-point type or larger, and calls for paper good enough to record photographically — plus room in the first page's upper right corner for the county's stamp (how much room varies by county). This download is already built to those specs.
- Get it notarized. ORS § 93.410 requires the grantor's signature to be acknowledged before a notary — skip this and the deed gets turned away at the counter. Can't get to a notary in person? Oregon allows remote online notarization, so you can notarize it online in minutes instead.
- Double-check the first page. ORS § 205.234 requires the first page to carry the transaction title, both parties' names, the true and actual consideration, and the tax-statement address ORS § 93.260 calls for. Missing something? The county may let you attach a cover sheet rather than reject the deed outright.
- File it with the right county. Take it to the recording office where the property sits — not where you live. Each county sets its own fee and adjusts it on its own schedule, so confirm the current amount before you go; find contact details in our county directory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just use a free form instead of paying $14.95?
Because a free template rarely matches what Oregon actually requires — the first-page content ORS § 205.234 calls for, the paper/type-size rules under ORS § 205.232, or wording a notary can properly acknowledge. Any of those gets your deed handed back, and by then you've already paid the recording fee and made the trip. This one's built for Oregon specifically, and if it still gets rejected, you're refunded.
What exactly do I get for $14.95?
The quitclaim deed form itself, formatted for Oregon, plus warranty and survivorship deed versions in case you need a different one, all drafted by licensed attorneys with plain-English instructions.
Do I have to hire an attorney to use it?
No — that's the point. The instructions are written so you can complete it yourself.
Does it work no matter which Oregon county I'm filing in?
Yes. It's built to Oregon's statewide first-page requirements under ORS § 205.234, so it's accepted anywhere in the state's 36 counties.
Besides the form itself, what else does recording require?
A notary acknowledgment under ORS § 93.410, and — per ORS § 205.234 — a first page showing the transaction title, both parties' names, the true and actual consideration, and the tax-statement address ORS § 93.260 requires. Beyond that, just the county's recording fee, which varies by county and changes periodically — confirm the current amount with your county recorder.
What if the county recorder rejects it anyway?
You get a full refund — there's no risk in trying the download first.
What if I'd rather someone else handle the paperwork?
Standard Legal, our partner, offers a $39.95 preparation service — they draft it, you just sign, notarize, and file.
Can I do this from my phone?
Yes — computer, tablet, or phone all work, and everything stays local to your device; nothing gets uploaded.
