Built for Oregon closings
This page is for Oregon title agencies, escrow offices and closing attorneys who need a new website or a rebuild of the one they have. It explains how we design an Oregon title company website, which calculators and online forms are included, and what the monthly cost is. We build websites for the title industry and nothing else, and every Oregon project starts with the state rules below.
Oregon is an escrow state with filed title insurance rates: each underwriter files its schedule with the Division of Financial Regulation, and the escrow officer at the title company conducts the closing. The seller customarily pays for the owner’s policy. In 2012 Oregon voters amended the constitution to prohibit new real estate transfer taxes, so the state and nearly every county levy none — but Washington County’s transfer tax, enacted before the ban, was grandfathered and still applies to Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tigard sales.
That one-county exception is exactly the kind of thing a national calculator gets wrong in both directions: charging a transfer tax in Multnomah where there is none, or omitting it in Washington County where there is. Oregon buyers, many of them relocating from California and expecting a transfer tax everywhere, notice.
- Filed premium rates configured to your underwriter
- No transfer tax statewide, with Washington County's grandfathered tax applied only there
- County clerk recording fees
- Escrow order intake and secure document exchange
- Local SEO for Portland and its suburbs, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford and the coast
- Seller net sheets accurate to Oregon customs
Calculators built for Oregon, fitted to your site
Custom calculators are the core of what we do. Each one we build for an Oregon agency runs on Oregon’s actual rules — filed premium schedules, county clerk recording fees, a transfer tax line that reads zero everywhere except Washington County, and the escrow customs Oregon shares with California and Washington — and is styled to your brand and placed in your own page layout, rather than embedded as a generic widget with your logo pasted on top.
Choose the tools that match your Oregon workflow. These six are the ones Oregon agencies ask for first; fourteen are available.
Title Insurance Calculator
Owner's & lender's premiums at Oregon's filed rates.
Open calculator →Closing Cost Calculator
Full buyer/seller breakdown — title, taxes, recording, and settlement fees.
Open calculator →Seller Net Sheet
What the seller walks away with after commission, payoff & closing costs.
Open calculator →Buyer Cash-to-Close
Everything a buyer needs at the table — down payment, prepaids, and closing costs.
Open calculator →Contract Deadline Calculator
Every deadline in the Oregon purchase contract — inspection, financing, title, closing — as calendar dates from the effective date.
Open calculator →Property Tax Proration
Splits the year's property taxes between buyer and seller as of the closing date.
Open calculator →Oregon-specific from day one
No transfer tax, one exception
Oregon voters banned new transfer taxes in 2012. Washington County’s pre-existing one survived. The calculator applies it only there.
Escrow runs the file
Oregon escrow officers conduct the closing. Intake, contract upload and net sheets are built for the escrow workflow.
Portland to Bend
The metro, the Valley, the coast and Central Oregon are different markets. Each gets its own page.
Forms that do the back-and-forth for you
Intake forms live on your Oregon site, so an agent opens the order, a lender requests what they need and the buyer and seller complete their sheets online instead of by email. Each submission arrives as a finished PDF that goes straight into the file in your title software. Every form carries your branding and works on a phone. The six below are the most used by Oregon agencies; eleven are available.
Submit a Contract
Clients upload a signed purchase contract and any addenda — you open the file and start title work right away.
Open form →Buyer Information Sheet
Buyers complete intake online and you receive it as a PDF — or they download it to fill out by hand.
Open form →Seller Information Sheet
Sellers complete intake online and you receive a PDF — or download it to complete on paper.
Open form →Payoff Authorization
Sellers and refinancers e-sign to authorize a payoff request — so net sheets are accurate and prior liens clear at closing.
Open form →Open a Title Order
Agents and lenders open a new file in one step — property, parties, lender, and closing date. No back-and-forth emails.
Open form →Secure Document Upload
Clients upload IDs, payoffs, and sensitive documents through an encrypted portal.
Open form →Zero in Multnomah, not zero in Washington County
Oregon’s constitutional ban on new transfer taxes, approved by voters in 2012, left one survivor: Washington County’s transfer tax, in place since the 1980s and applied to every sale in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin and the rest of the county. Cross the line into Multnomah or Clackamas and the tax is zero.
A Portland metro escrow company closes on both sides of that line every day, and its net sheets have to know which side the property is on. Ours do: the transfer tax line reads zero with an explanation in every Oregon county but one, and applies Washington County’s rate, split by custom, when the property is there.
It is a small piece of logic that a national template does not have and a Beaverton listing agent will test on the first estimate.
The metro, the Valley, the coast and Central Oregon
Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties are the Portland metro, a high-volume market where Realtor relationships decide who gets the escrow and the site’s job is to be the fastest agency to open a file with. Marion and Lane counties are Salem and Eugene, steadier markets with the state government and the university at their centers. Deschutes County around Bend is a relocation and second-home market whose buyers search from California and Seattle before they have an agent. Jackson County around Medford and the coast have their own agents and their own remote parties.
The metro pages lead with the order form and the net sheet. The Bend and coast pages are written for the out-of-state buyer: how an Oregon escrow closing works, no transfer tax, what an owner’s policy costs at your rates, how a mail-away signing goes. The Salem and Eugene pages are practical and local.

Oregon title website questions
Does Oregon have a real estate transfer tax?
Not statewide. Oregon’s constitution prohibits new transfer taxes, so the state and nearly every county levy none. Washington County’s pre-existing tax was grandfathered and still applies there. Our calculators apply it only for Washington County property.
Who conducts closings in Oregon?
Escrow officers at title companies. We build the site around the escrow workflow: order intake, contract upload, document exchange and a contact for the escrow officer on every page.
How are Oregon title rates regulated?
Each underwriter files its rates with the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation. Premiums differ between underwriters, so the calculators are configured to yours.
Who pays for the owner's policy in Oregon?
The seller customarily pays for the owner’s policy and the buyer for the lender’s policy. The calculators default to that and can be changed per deal.
Can you build separate pages for Portland suburbs?
Yes. Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Gresham and the rest of the metro can each have a page, with the transfer tax configured correctly for the county each sits in.
Which Oregon markets can you target?
Portland and its suburbs, Salem, Eugene, Bend and Central Oregon, Medford and the Rogue Valley, the coast and any other county you serve, each with its own page.
What does an Oregon title agency website cost per month?
Three plans: $75 a month puts the Oregon calculators and forms on your existing website; $150 a month is a custom 25-page site with all fourteen calculators, forms, hosting and local SEO; $399 a month is a 50-page site with monthly blog content and ads management. There is no setup fee and you can cancel any month.
We already have a Oregon title company website. Can you redesign it?
Yes, and that is the most common project. We move your existing content over, preserve your page addresses so your Google rankings carry across, add the Oregon calculators and intake forms, and host the new site on secure, ADA-compliant hosting. If you want to keep the site you have, the $75 plan adds the tools to it as-is.
Transfer tax prohibition under Oregon Constitution Article IX, Section 15 (Measure 79, 2012); Washington County transfer tax under county code Chapter 3.04. Verify current fees and filed premiums before relying on any figure.
