Contracts
In Oregon, which of the following would NOT be considered adequate property description in a deed?
AA legal description by metes and bounds
BThe street address of the property (e.g., '123 Main Street, Portland, OR 97201')✓ Correct
CA lot and block number from a recorded plat
DA government survey description (Township, Range, Section)
Explanation
A street address alone is generally NOT an adequate legal description for a deed in Oregon. Property descriptions must identify the exact boundaries of land, typically using metes and bounds, lot and block from a recorded plat, or the government rectangular survey system. Street addresses can change and do not precisely define boundaries as required by law.
