The lien claimant shall give notice of the foreclosure sale to the lien debtor:(A)
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, at least 30 days before the foreclosure sale.(B)
If the lien is for the cost of removing, towing or storing a vehicle that a person who holds a certificate issued under ORS 819.480 (Vehicle appraiser certificate) has appraised at a value of $1,000 or less, at least 15 days before the foreclosure sale.(b)
If the chattel to be sold at a foreclosure sale is chattel for which the Department of Transportation has issued a certificate of title under ORS 803.045 (Issuance of title), for which the State Marine Board requires a certificate of title under ORS 830.810 (Certificate of title) or for which the Oregon Department of Aviation requires a certificate of registration under ORS 837.040 (Persons required to register aircraft), the lien claimant shall include with the notice described in paragraph (a) of this subsection a copy of an invoice, work or repair order, authorization for towing, official form that authorizes a law enforcement agency to impound the chattel or any other record or document that is evidence of the basis for the lien.(c)
If a lien claimant fails to give notice in accordance with this subsection to a lien debtor concerning chattel described in paragraph (b) of this subsection, the lien claimant is liable to the lien debtor for a sum equal to the fair market value of the chattel sold at the foreclosure sale. The lien debtor may bring an action to recover the sum and reasonable attorney fees.(2)
The lien claimant shall give public notice of the foreclosure sale by posting notice of the foreclosure sale in a public place at or near the front door of the county courthouse of the county in which the sale is to be held and, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, in a public place at the location where the lien claimant obtained possession of the chattel to be sold from the lien debtor.

The lien claimant shall give notice under this subsection not later than the time required for notice to a lien debtor under subsection (1) of this section.(b)
This subsection does not require the lien claimant to post notice at the location where the lien claimant obtained the chattel if the chattel is a chattel for which the Department of Transportation has issued a certificate of title under ORS 803.045 (Issuance of title), for which the State Marine Board requires a certificate of title under ORS 830.810 (Certificate of title) or for which the Oregon Department of Aviation requires a certificate of registration under ORS 837.040 (Persons required to register aircraft).(3)
If the chattel to be sold at a foreclosure sale is something other than an abandoned vehicle and has a fair market value of $1,000 or more, or if the chattel to be sold is an abandoned vehicle and has a fair market value of $2,500 or more, the lien claimant, in addition to the notice required by subsection (2) of this section, shall have a notice of foreclosure sale printed once a week for two successive weeks in a daily or weekly newspaper, as defined in ORS 193.010 (Definitions for ORS 193.010 and 193.020), published in the county in which the sale is held or, if there is none, in a daily or weekly newspaper, as defined in ORS 193.010 (Definitions for ORS 193.010 and 193.020), generally circulated in the county in which the sale is held.(4)
