ABOUT THE SCHEDULE
Effective Date: This “schedule of fines” (SOF-21) supersedes SOF-20 and all previous fine schedules and
summaries for violations committed on or after February 1, 2021.
Changes to Previous Schedule (SOF-20): SOF-21 reflects the following substantive change from SOF-
20:
• Adds the maximum fine amount related to the new Class E violation created by Measure 110
(2020). (NOTE: Measure 110 did not specify a presumptive fine amount, a minimum fine amount,
or a maximum fine amount for corporations for a Class E violation. Accordingly, this schedule does
not specify those amounts for a Class E violation and lists “N/A” where those amounts would be
included in the schedule.)
Purposes: OSCA is publishing SOF-21 as a helpful guide for courts and law enforcement. The schedule is
not a substitute for reading the actual law.
SOF-21 provides summarized information on:
• the amount a citing enforcement officer must enter on the citation in the place designated for
"presumptive fine" when charging a person with a violation offense under state law, regardless of the
court the officer cites the person to appear in; and
• the minimum and maximum amounts courts can impose on conviction.
The presumptive fine is the amount the defendant can pay to resolve the violation offense without having to do
anything else, unless the law or the court requires the defendant to appear (see ORS 153.061). The court can
impose a higher fine, up to the maximum statutory sanction, if the law or the court requires the defendant to
appear.
Offenses Included: SOF-21 includes amounts for Class A, B, C, D, and E violations and common “specific
fine violations.”
Local Surcharges (Jefferson County and Multnomah County): Pursuant to Chief Justice Orders 16-026
and 16-030,
in accordance with the process set forth in ORS 1.188, there is a $5 surcharge on each fine
assessed by a circuit court for traffic offenses as defined in ORS 801.555(2) and parking ordinances in
Jefferson and Multnomah Counties.
What Presumptive Fines Are Not/Do Not Do: The presumptive fines listed in SOF-21:
• are not bail, security-release amounts, or security-release deposit amounts; they do not affect security-
release procedures under ORS 135.265;
• do not include any moneys for restitution or costs; and
• do not apply to misdemeanors or felonies.
