For a parcel in or near Canby, the Canby GIS map shows parcel boundaries plus basic tax data. What this Canby guide covers: which viewer to open, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
Finding a lot on the Canby GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Canby the go-to is the ORMAP statewide tax lot viewer.
The viewer Clackamas County publishes
Begin with the ORMAP statewide tax lot viewer; it covers each tax parcel in the county, Tualatin included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near West Linn or elsewhere in the county. For property near Rivergrove, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Tualatin belong with the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Barlow need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Canby and the county around it
Canby lies within Clackamas County, Oregon, and the county assessor maps its lots. For a parcel near Tualatin, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits near West Linn generally follows county rules instead.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Barlow, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Wilsonville and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Browser tips
When the map won't open around Tualatin, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Getting your bearings
Oregon City is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Barlow, Wilsonville, and West Linn, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 423,173 people live in Clackamas County (Census estimate, 2023) on some 1,871 square miles. Clackamas County dates to 1843, and some chains of title near Barlow are long.
Land on the county line
Clackamas County meets Hood River County, Marion County, Multnomah County, Wasco County, and Washington County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Oregon City can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map too. Near Oregon City, our state page links each neighboring county map for Oregon.
Printing and saving
Save a screenshot of the lot near Barlow and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on land around Barlow. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Rivergrove can take weeks to appear.
Searching the map
Vacant ground near Barlow may lack an address, so zoom in from the nearest road and click the outline. For a home near Wilsonville, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
Aerials, labels and overlays
For a home near Rivergrove, look in the layer list for municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; not every viewer has them all.
Reading the legal description
Oregon uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Wilsonville is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near West Linn vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Tualatin before you request a deed or survey.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Wilsonville sit with the County Clerk. Long-held tracts near Oregon City can go back through several deeds, so a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
What the record panel tells you
The record for a parcel near Wilsonville typically lists owner and value fields plus the parcel number.
