OR Foreclosure Process

Oregon Foreclosure: How It Works

Oregon allows both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure. Most residential foreclosures are non-judicial under the Oregon Trust Deed Act. The trustee conducts the sale. OR requires strict notice compliance including a notice of default, a 120-day right to cure, and notice of sale. Oregon has 36 counties.

Oregon Foreclosure Timeline

1

Notice of Default

Trustee records Notice of Default. OR provides a 120-day right to cure — one of the longest cure periods in the nation.

2

Notice of Sale

After 120 days, trustee issues Notice of Sale. Must be published for 4 consecutive weeks and posted on the property.

3

Challenge Options

Judicial: Answer in 30 days. Non-judicial: File suit in Circuit Court seeking injunction. OR has a foreclosure mediation program.

4

Trustee Sale

If no challenge, property sold at public auction. OR has no statutory post-sale redemption period for non-judicial foreclosures.

OR's 120-day cure period is generous, but once it expires the process moves quickly. No post-sale redemption for non-judicial — pre-sale action essential.

Oregon-Specific Defenses

Standing Challenge

Trustee must prove authority. OR's Trust Deed Act requires strict compliance with chain of title and authority.

Notice Compliance

OR has strict notice requirements. 120-day cure notice, publication, and posting defects can be grounds for challenge.

Foreclosure Mediation

OR's foreclosure mediation program provides structured negotiation. Requesting mediation may provide additional time.

120-Day Cure Period

OR's generous 120-day cure period is a significant homeowner protection — substantial time to pursue alternatives.
