Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 368.326 to 368.366 provide the legal procedure for Oregon counties to vacate public roads, public property, or other public property interest under their jurisdiction.  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.

Deschutes County Road Department is actively working with local, state and federal agency partners on the delivery of multi-jurisdictional transportation improvement projects.  For information regarding these projects, please select from the partner agency project links below:
