What the venue publishes
Washington County Circuit Court Marriage Ceremonies page: "In addition to the listed Judge's fees below, ORS 106.120(4)(a) provides that a $117.00 fee will be paid to the Circuit Court if the marriage is solemnized in Court facilities." The same page publishes each judge's own fee; the lowest listed is $75 ("Available for weddings on weekdays - during noon hour or after hours, $75"), so the published minimum is $117 + $75 = $192. Most judges list $100; other published judge fees are $150, $200 (after hours), $225 (weekends) and $250 (weekends), and military personnel in uniform are listed at $50.
$192 is the lowest published rate for this space. Day, season, and residency can move it up.
Ceremonies are actively offered by roughly a dozen judges, mostly in the noon hour (12pm-1pm) or at 5pm, at the Hillsboro courthouse (145 NE 2nd Avenue or 150 N 1st Avenue) either in a courtroom or outside on the courthouse grounds; two judges also list Bagley Park, 201 NE Jackson St. as an alternate site. Most judges do not perform weekend weddings and none perform "in custody" weddings. Several judges provide witnesses at no cost; a few charge extra. Photos and videotaping are encouraged. One judge specifies the fee is payable in cash. A Washington County marriage license is separate.

The venue fee above does not include the license. Hillsboro sits in Washington County, OR, and these are the terms that county publishes. Checked September 2026.
| Issuing office | Washington County Recording Office (County Clerk)MSC 9, 155 N First Avenue, Room 130, Hillsboro, OR 97124 |
| License fee | $85The page reads 'The fee is $60.00. This fee will be increasing to $85 on July 1, 2026.' and also carries a banner, 'The Marriage License Fee will be increasing to $85 on July 1, 2026.' That increase date has passed as of this check, so $85 is the published current fee, but the page still displayed the old $60 line when checked. Confirm with the office.
