Following the effective date of the Oregon Homestead Exemption Act,
as contained in the Revised Civil Statutes, when two or more persons
reside in the same home, the amount of the combined total is $33,000,
otherwise an individual may claim $25,000 as an exempt primary
residence. Full time occupancy is not required. Although a formal
declaration of specific property is also not required, state residents
may optionally file the Oregon homestead exemption form to clarify which
tract is claimed as a primary residence. Same sex couples, family
members, spouses, and estates may all claim property as exempt according
to the Oregon homestead exemption law.
