Search public records in Oregon when researching real estate options Information on real estate is always available to the public. If you're looking for specific data on a particular property, such as zoning information, assessments or building requirements, you can find it on government sites, such as county offices. Additionally, you can research title and deed information, find out who owns a property and get tax information.

I recommend:  Real Marketing is a major online resource that provides links to Oregon county assessor's offices, county recorder's offices and county treasurer's offices. You can find comprehensive property information by visiting these online resources.

Consider checking Oregon court records before you hire an employee As a business owner, it's smart to run background checks on potential employees, especially if you're hiring childcare providers and teachers. Background checks can range from verifying a person's Social Security number, to a detailed account of the person's history and acquaintances. Before doing a background check, you must get permission from the individual.

I recommend:  The Oregon State Police can help you obtain criminal records. Additionally, public access to court records is available at the Oregon Judicial Department.

Track down anyone with an Oregon vital records search With the assistance of the Internet and the right data, you can track down any individual, living or deceased. If you already know the person's social security number, date of birth, or last known address, you can use these to research vital records. Less information than that makes your search a little more difficult, but still possible.

I recommend:  Research Oregon marriage records, as well as divorce, birth and death records at Oregon's Center for Health Statistics. Public People Finder can help you track someone down using a variety of information, but they do require a fee.
