Expunging a Case An expungement is a legal process provided by ORS 137.225 in which a court may order setting aside a conviction or a record of arrest. The statute provides for expungement of misdemeanors (including municipal ordinances), and violations (including state and local ordinances) as otherwise required or allowed by law. There is an administrative fee of $60 set by the City of Eugene for processing an expungement/set aside request. This fee is payable to Eugene Municipal Court and due upon filing the request. If you are unable to pay the fee, please contact the court about a possible waiver. How long do you need to wait before you can expunge a case?
