How expungement works in Wheeler County

Oregon expungement — called “set aside” in the statute — is governed by ORS 137.225. The process is the same in every county, including Wheeler County. The petition is filed with the Wheeler County Circuit Court, a copy is served on the Wheeler County District Attorney, and an Oregon State Police background check is submitted.

If no one objects within 120 days, the judge may grant the set aside. Once granted, the conviction is sealed and removed from most public records.

Whether a specific conviction is eligible depends on the offense, how long ago it was, and whether the sentence and any restitution have been completed. Oregon eliminated the court filing fee, so the only out-of-pocket costs are the Oregon State Police background check ($33) and fingerprinting ($15–$40).
