Linn County is assigned to the Eugene Division of the District of Oregon under the court's own assignment rule. Which court a case may be filed in is decided separately, by 28 U.S.C. § 1408.

The court Linn County is assigned to

Eugene Division, District of Oregon (orb)

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.
