The Recording Division of the Office of the County Clerk is excited to announce the launch of the Property Recording Alert Service (PRAS), a new software system provided by our land records management system vendor. This free service is designed to enhance the monitoring of recording activity related to land records, offering residents greater transparency and control over their property records.
PRAS provides timely automated email alerts to property owners when new documents are recorded under monitored names. Each alert includes a direct link to view the information of the recorded documents, making it easier than ever to stay informed and protect your property.
Note: PRAS is only an alert system not a fraud prevention service.

Property Recording Alert Service FAQs
Does this integrate with any online monitoring services (ie. Lifelock)?
No. This separate service will only notify the subscriber of a recorded document based on the enrolled name(s).
How do I add more than ten names?
The system only allows ten names to be assigned to a single email address. Additional names must be entered under a separate email address.
My last name is very common. Will I receive notification alerts that could belong to someone else?
It is very possible to receive an alert that may pertain to another individual with the same name as you. Please view the document to determine whether it affects your property.
What information is provided in a notification alert email?
The recording alert will contain the party name(s) being monitored and a link directing you to the recorded document located on the Digital Research Room website. By clicking on the link, you can view the details of the recorded document.
What documents will I be notified about through the Property Recording Alert Service and how do I obtain a copy?
The Property Recording Alert Service alerts you to newly recorded documents only, i.e. documents recorded after you have signed up. To access newly recorded documents or search documents already recorded under your name, visit our Digital Research Room or contact our office.
What should I do if I think I have been subject to fraud?
If you suspect you are a victim of fraud, please contact local law enforcement and seek legal counsel.
Will registering for this service notify me of recording activities in another county?
No. You will only receive alerts for properties located in Clackamas County. You must subscribe to each county individually. Note: This service is not available in every county in Oregon.
Does this service prevent someone from recording a document on my property?
No. The County Clerk's Office does not have the legal authority, nor the means to flag properties or determine the validity or authenticity of a document submitted for recording. Oregon law requires that a document meeting the statutory requirements shall be recorded by the County Clerk, making it a public record.
How do I find out what the contents of a recorded document mean?
The Clackamas County Clerk's Office is prohibited from interpreting any document or providing legal assistance. We recommend seeking legal counsel for any questions regarding the contents of the document.
