Breach Written Contract Statute Of Limitations in Oregon

Oregon’s statute of limitations for breach of a written contract is governed by Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110(1), which establishes a two-year filing period. This authority requires that any action for breach of a written agreement must be commenced within two years from the date the claim accrues, typically when the breach occurs or is discovered. The verified figure of two years applies uniformly to claims based on written contracts in Oregon. The worked example below illustrates how this two-year period is calculated from a specific accrual date. For precise application to a particular set of facts, the DocketMath calculator can estimate the filing deadline using the official source at the Oregon Legislature’s website.

Governing authority

In Oregon, the statute of limitations rule is set by Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110(1). The verified packet cites Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110(1) (https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors012.html).

Deadline example

For a Oregon breach written contract limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 2 years. The authority packet cites Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110(1) (https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors012.html).

Example inputs:

• Accrual date: 2024-04-25
• Filing date checked: 2026-04-25

Calculation:

• Start with the accrual date.
• Add 2 years.
• The example deadline is 2026-04-25.

This example is generated from the verified facts packet rather than freeform prose. Confirm tolling, discovery rules, and claim-specific exceptions before relying on the date.

Estimate your own result: every situation has exceptions that can change the outcome. Use the breach written contract statute of limitations calculator to estimate your specific figure.
