How much can I sue for in small claims court in Oregon?
Answered for: Oregon
Except as provided in this section, an action for the recovery of money, damages, specific personal property, or any penalty or forfeiture may be commenced and prosecuted in the small claims department if the amount or value claimed in the action does not exceed $10,000.
Oregon caps a small claims suit at $10,000, TWO THRESHOLDS. A claim of $750 or less MUST be brought in the small claims department (mandatory). A claim up to $10,000 MAY be brought there (permissive). Source is the 2025 Edition of the ORS..
This answer is true in Oregon and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Oregon.
