Renter-occupied housing accounts for 26.58% of occupied homes in the county, compared with 26.17% across the state and 21.81% nationally, so renting is a little more common here than in the typical Oregon or American community.

The county's median property tax rate of 0.81% is above both the state rate of 0.75% and the national rate of 0.74%, which means owners pay a slightly larger share of value in taxes on homes that cost much less than elsewhere in Oregon.

Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show what happens to a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a mortgage from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that the loan was paid off and the lien cleared from the property.
Gilliam County has 351 assignment and release records in total, made up of 21 assignment documents and 330 release documents. Assignments were recorded from April 5, 2022, through August 26, 2025, and releases from December 1, 2020, through August 25, 2025.
These records help researchers see who currently holds a mortgage and whether earlier loans on a property have been satisfied. Buyers, sellers, and title researchers can use them to confirm that past liens were cleared and to follow a loan as it moved between lenders before a sale or refinance.
