Bankruptcy court

District of Oregon

The District of Oregon is the federal bankruptcy court for 36 counties in Oregon, divided into 2 divisions.

Divisions and counties served

Each county below is assigned to a division by the court’s own order or local rule.

Bankruptcy venue is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1408, not by county alone. It can rest on domicile, residence, a principal place of business, or principal assets in the United States, measured over the 180 days before filing — so a recent move can change which district is available. Confirm venue before filing.
