Public Records Fee in Oregon

Oregon’s public records fee is governed by ORS 192.324, which establishes the statutory framework for the costs a public body may charge to produce records. That statute sets out the permissible components of the fee, including how the public body calculates charges for staff time and other expenses directly related to the request. The exact dollar amounts and formulas are specified in the statute and may vary based on the type of record and the method of production. The worked example below demonstrates how the fee is computed under the law.
