Vacation of public road rights-of-way or appurtenant public easements (i.e., slope easements) under Deschutes County jurisdiction are administered by the Deschutes County Road Department. Generally, the procedure is used to vacate public road rights-of-way that are no longer required for public use upon request from one or more abutting or underlying property owners. |
