Linn County collects data on the sale of real property as a step in preparing the
annual assessment roll. We do not claim that it is suitable for any other use. We try to
make the information as accurate as possible, however there will be errors. If you
discover an error or have questions about these files please contact Robert Rayner, the
Data Analyst, at (541) 967-3808 or email me at rrayner@co.linn.or.us.

Why put this data on the web?
Sales information is public record and is currently available to those who
come to our office. Open record laws are intended to protect citizens from abuse of
power. How we assess property taxes is complicated but it is not hidden.
Because our records are open, this office must respond to hundreds of
phone calls each week. Many calls are from professionals who rely on our services: Title
Companies, Realtors, Appraisers, Property Managers, etc. As we have reduced the
number of employees in the office it has become more difficult to maintain the level of
service that taxpayers expect.
The purpose for creating these web pages is to take advantage of
technology to provide a required service in a more efficient manner. By making
basic data about property sales available on the internet we expect to reduce the number
of repeat visits and calls made by professionals. This will free our staff to better serve
those property owners with individual requests.
