Washington County processes a high volume of cases each year. The jail sees weekly turnover of about 55%, which means the roster changes often.

Tigard Record Expungement
Oregon allows certain arrest and conviction records to be set aside through expungement. Under ORS 137.225, you can file a motion with the Washington County Circuit Court in Hillsboro to seal qualifying records. Most misdemeanors require a three-year wait from the judgment date. Most felonies need five years before you can file.
If your Tigard arrest resulted in dismissed charges, you may be eligible sooner. Not every offense qualifies for expungement. Serious crimes are excluded entirely. The court reviews each motion and decides whether to grant it. Once a record is set aside, it stops appearing in most public searches of Tigard arrest records.
