Free Oregon Quitclaim Deed

Use our Oregon Quitclaim Deed to release your rights and ownership claims over property you’re selling or gifting.

Updated September 30, 2022 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

An Oregon quitclaim deed form is a legal document that transfers rights or interest in a real estate property from one person (grantor) to another (grantee).

This type of property transfer doesn’t guarantee the ownership or clarity of the title. So, do your due diligence to ensure you’ll get a defect-free title. 

If you want more protection, a warranty deed is a better option. However, a quitclaim deed form can help transfer real property much faster and is suitable for property transfer between family members.

Oregon Quitclaim Deed Laws and Requirements

The information below will help you understand how to create a valid Oregon quitclaim deed form.

Laws

The law governing a quitclaim deed form in the state is Oregon Revised Statutes § 93.865. 

The law provides the quitclaim deed form format and other requirements with which you must comply to transfer property via a quitclaim deed form in Oregon.

Legal description

According to Oregon Revised Statutes § 93.600, specific ways describe the real property being transferred. The legal description must:

  • Give the subdivision name with lot and block; or
  • Provide the partition plat recording and parcel number; or 
  • Provide the metes and bounds (boundary description using landmarks); or
  • Reference the recorded deed number, document number, or book and page of the county’s public record that described the property.

Describing the property by street address or tax lot number alone is not an adequate legal description.

Signing

Under Oregon Revised Statutes § 93.410, the grantor must sign the quitclaim deed form. 

Acknowledgment

Acknowledgment simply refers to a declaration that a person acted of their own free will.

Oregon Revised Statutes § 93.410 provides that the quitclaim deed must be acknowledged before a notary public or other recognized officials within the state.

 

Transfer Tax

There’s no transfer tax on real estate transfers in Oregon except in Washington county. Washington county imposes a transfer tax on property transfers at $1 per $1,000 of the sales price.

There are exemptions from the transfer tax for transfers between spouses and gift transfers. Payment of the transfer tax must be within 15 days of recording the deed. 

Additional Documents

You don’t need any additional documents. A fully compliant quitclaim deed form is all you need to transfer property and record the transaction.

Witnesses

There’s no need for any witness to a quitclaim deed form in Oregon.

Recording

After signing your quitclaim deed form and notarizing it, you’ll file it in the Recorder’s Office within the County Court Clerk’s Office, in the county where the property is located per Oregon Revised Statutes § 205.130.

In most jurisdictions, you’ll pay a filing fee, so contact the Recorder’s office in the county before submission. A $20 non-conforming fee will be charged in addition to recording fees if the document does not meet statutory requirements.

Oregon Revised Statutes § 205.232 requires the document to be no larger than 8.5 inches by 14 inches in size and the printed, typed, or written text to be in an 8-point font or larger.

Per Oregon Revised Statutes § 205.234, the first page of the document must contain at least the following: 

  • Title of the document
  • Name(s) of the parties (grantor and grantee)
  • Return to information (name and address)
  • Tax Statements (name and address where tax statements should be sent)
  • Actual consideration paid
