Gilliam County Clerk
About the Gilliam County Clerk
Gilliam County sits in the wheat country of the Columbia River Plateau, where wide-open grain fields and cattle ranches far outnumber people — the county's population has hovered right around 2,000 for years, making it one of the least populous in Oregon. Wind turbines from the Shepherds Flat Wind Farm now share the skyline with the wheat, and the county has also become a regional hub for waste management operations. Condon, the county seat, is small enough that the Clerk's office handles recording as one piece of a broader county-clerk workload rather than a high-volume specialty, so filings tend to move quickly and personally.

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 Condon? Oregon allows remote online notarization — you can have your Gilliam 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 Gilliam 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.
