Portland

Portland is the city around Nob Hill, but a Portland mailing address or a Portland crash location is not automatically a Multnomah County case. Some Portland postal codes fall in Clackamas County or Washington County. If the wreck, the defendant or your own address sits in one of those other counties, the filing may belong in Oregon City or Hillsboro rather than at the Central Courthouse, 1200 SW 1st Ave. Ask a lawyer which county is the right one.

When the case is a Multnomah matter, the civil desk at that downtown courthouse can be reached at 971-274-0540. Hours are on the Multnomah court page. A regular Portland crash cannot be filed through the City’s ordinary online tool. Call 503-823-3333, or 911 if it is an emergency. Our report guide and our courts guide explain those first steps.
