What Portland is, in the records

Portland is a city in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties, Oregon. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 45.536951, -122.649971 and its land area at 133.49 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the city level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.

What we hold for the county that covers Portland

We hold 10,784 septic records for Clackamas County, Oregon. That is a substantial partial collection rather than a complete one, so a Portland property may or may not appear in it, and the county archive remains the authority. The county is predominantly sewered: only 19,805 of 121,769 classified parcels are on septic. Septic properties near Portland are the exception, which is exactly why owners often do not know they have one. The county publishes a records portal that we were able to search without creating an account, which makes checking a specific parcel something you can do yourself in a few minutes.
