A Sheriff is required to post the initial Notice of Sale online; you can find these postings through the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association website http://oregonsheriffssales.org/ . Please note, houses are posted online for the required 28 days prior to auction and may not be listed up until the sale date. Sale canceled or postponed may occur at the discretion of the foreclosure law firm without required public posting.
