How to Fight a Red-Light Camera Ticket in Beaverton, OR (2026)
IMPORTANT — OREGON IS NOT A NO-RECORD STATE: A Beaverton red-light camera ticket is NOT a civil-penalty-only citation. Under ORS 810.436(8), a camera citation carries the same penalties and consequences as an officer-issued citation for the same underlying violation. Conviction is reported to ODOT under ORS 810.370 and ORS 810.375, appears on the public Oregon driving record, and can affect insurance premiums. Oregon has no numeric points system, but the conviction is recorded and visible to insurers. This is the defining differentiator from no-record states like OH, VA, IL, and MD. Beaverton initiated its red-light camera program in January 2001 — one of the earliest in Oregon. A March 2001 community survey found 85% of Beaverton residents were concerned about red-light running. All four fixed intersection locations have had red-light cameras since program launch. The vendor for citation management and image viewing is ZeroFatality / NovoaGlobal, Inc. (portal: payment.zerofatality.com/vps/cgi/VP/citation_review). Beaverton Police Department (BPD) officers review all images before any citation is mailed — no automatic issuance. Citations are mailed within 10 business days of the violation per BPD FAQ and ORS 810.436(1)(d). Recipients have 30 days from the citation mailing date to respond.

Oregon law (ORS 810.436(7)(a)) requires Beaverton Municipal Court to dismiss the citation if a properly completed Certificate of Innocence is submitted within 30 days. No driver ID required.

Does a Beaverton red-light camera ticket go on my driving record?
Yes — this is the critical difference between Beaverton and most other camera-ticket jurisdictions covered by ParkingFight. Under ORS 810.436(8), an Oregon camera citation carries the same consequences as an officer-issued citation for the same violation. A conviction is reported to ODOT and appears on your Oregon public driving record. Oregon has no numeric points system, but the record is visible to insurers. This is NOT a civil-penalty-only citation like Ohio, Virginia, Illinois, or Maryland camera tickets.
How much is a red-light camera ticket in Beaverton, Oregon?
A red-light camera ticket in Beaverton is a Class B traffic violation with a $265 presumptive fine and a $1,000 maximum fine. Unlike red-light camera tickets in most other states, a Beaverton ticket goes on your Oregon driving record and is reported to ODOT. You have 30 days from the date the citation was mailed to respond.
I wasn't driving the car when I got the Beaverton red-light camera ticket — what do I do?
Submit a Certificate of Innocence — a sworn statement affirming you were not driving, along with a photocopy of your driver's license. Oregon law (ORS 810.436(7)(a)) requires Beaverton Municipal Court to dismiss the citation if you submit a properly completed Certificate of Innocence within 30 days of the citation mailing date. You do not need to identify who was actually driving. Only submit this if it is truthful — submitting a false sworn statement is perjury under Oregon law.
What is the deadline to contest a Beaverton red-light camera ticket?
You have 30 days from the date the citation was mailed — not the date you received it. Check the mailing date printed on the citation. Also keep the original envelope: if the postmark is more than 10 business days after the violation date, the citation may have been mailed outside the statutory deadline under ORS 810.436(1)(d), which is a potential defense. Failing to respond within 30 days may result in a default judgment under ORS 153.102 that can lead to license suspension.
