Oregon Code § 18.932·Enacted ·Last updated March 01, 2026
Statute Text
Postponement of sale; rules.
(1) A sheriff may postpone an execution sale to a specified date if:
(a) The sheriff
is unable to conduct the sale at the place and time specified in the notice of
the sale;
(b) The sheriff
considers it appropriate to postpone the sale for want of purchasers; or
(c) For other
sufficient cause.
(2) A sheriff
shall postpone an execution sale to a specified date upon the request of a
judgment creditor. The sheriff may not postpone the execution sale to a date
later than the final date for return on the writ of execution under ORS 18.872.
(3) If possible,
the sheriff shall make a public announcement of a postponement at the time and
place scheduled for the sale.
(4) An execution
sale may be postponed more than one time under the provisions of this section.
An execution sale may not be postponed beyond the date that a return on the
writ is due. If the judgment creditor requests a postponement to a specified
date, and the date is more than 60 days after the sheriff received the writ,
the request for a postponement of the sale automatically operates as a request
for an extension of the time for a return on the writ of execution under ORS
