In the pop-up for a piece of ground near McMinnville, you can read the owner, the tax mailing address and generally a legal description. Save those Yamhill County details in a note.
Search Yamhill County parcels by owner, address or ID

Trusts, LLCs, estates and mailing addresses
Owner fields on county records commonly name an entity: 'Estate of', 'et al' and 'c/o' entries near McMinnville each mean something different.

Owner names on the county map lag behind the courthouse, so a recent sale near McMinnville may not appear yet.
