Please call Public Works at (541) 265-5747 for road jurisdiction information. We can tell you if a road is ours or a state highway, city street, local access road, private road or belongs to another entity such as US Forest Service or a special road district. If your road falls under a specific non-county jurisdiction, we can provide contact information. Local access roads are the responsibility of the adjacent property owners.

A local access road, often referred to as a public road, is a road that has been dedicated to the public but has not been accepted as part of the county-maintained road system. The county still has jurisdiction within the rights-of-way of local access roads, but local property owners are responsible for maintenance. Many miles of local access roads exist within Lincoln County.
