Property Recording Alert Service (PRAS)
The Yamhill County Clerk's Office 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.
