Oregon court rules & publisher orders

Search a rule number or topic in circuit-court local rules and statewide UTCR. County filters select sources; they do not determine the court, venue or applicable law.

36 Oregon counties · 27 local rulebooks · 24 UTCR chapter PDFs

Machine-extracted or machine-OCR source text, not independently validated legal requirements. Later amendments, case orders, exceptions, signatures, service, fees and deadlines require original-source review. Reserved and repealed chapters do not create requirements.

Reserved and repealed-only chapters are retained as such. Amendment and supplemental orders are searched separately because their extracted text may include deleted or superseded provisions. Some scans have machine OCR, visibly labeled and unreviewed. Remaining scans have original-source links only. Verify all text and amendment markings in the PDF.

County coverage and remaining source gaps

All 36 counties have a mapped SLR rulebook. Supplemental orders remain incomplete. A zero below means no retained order in this collection; it does not mean that the court has no orders. OCR counts are machine-recognized documents, not legal review.

A-23 7. 18.040—FORM OF ORDER OR JUDGMENT Adopted a new rule regarding requirements for the form of a proposed order or judgment filed in an FED action. See related items A.4–A.6. ACTION TAKEN No motion was made to change the committee’s preliminary recommendation of approval. Accordingly, by committee convention, the October 24, 2025, preliminary recommendation became the committee’s final recommendation of approval. EXPLANATION See also the background explanation for related item A.4. The new rule imposes requirements for the form of a proposed order or judgment filed in an eviction action. At the fall 2025 meeting, the proponent provided the following testimony: • Whether an eviction action is subject to ORS chapter 90 is ultimately a legal determination. Plaintiffs sometimes mistakenly assert that an action is subject to ORS chapter 90 and defendants sometimes dispute the plaintiff’s assertion. It is important that the court determine whether an action is in fact subject to ORS chap…

A-20 4. 18.010—DEFINITION Adopted a definition of “eviction action” for purposes of proposed new rules UTCR 18.020 to 18.040. See related items A.5–A.7. ACTION TAKEN No motion was made to change the committee’s preliminary recommendation of approval. Accordingly, by committee convention, the October 24, 2025, preliminary recommendation became the committee’s final recommendation of approval. EXPLANATION Background. These new rules, UTCR 18.010 to 18.040, were proposed by Danielle Ramos, Legal Policy Advisor for OJD’s Civil and Criminal Programs Division, to align court processes with Oregon law. Under ORS 105.164, OJD must annually set aside judgments and seal court records in forcible entry and detainer (FED) cases that meet statutory criteria. This law, effective in 2023, applies retroactively to judgments entered on or after January 1, 2014. Since 2023, OJD has worked to develop a centralized, automated process to identify eligible FED cases. Progress has been delayed because many F…

Every filed document must be signed by an attorney of record or, if unrepresented, the party, and that signature certifies compliance with ORCP 17(C). 3.

The court may require parties to produce copies of any cited authority. 5.
