Tillamook County Road Department is continually challenged in the maintenance of its roads and bridges by the natural elements. Above is a picture of flood waters covering a portion of Tillamook River Road. Tillamook County receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 90 inches per year. Tillamook also has ice, snow, rivers, and ocean tides that take a toll on the roads and bridges of the county. (For a photograph of the Public Works maintenance shop during the January 2007 snow storm click here.)

Road History

In 1854, there were three designated road districts in Tillamook County. In 1855, the County Court determined that each man living in the County would contribute 15 work days each year toward the maintenance of the County Road System. And in 1859, Oregon became a state.

Public/Local Access Roads

In the past, Tillamook County Public Works mowed, patched, and graded local access roads. Due to a loss of 43% of our revenue because of the expiration of PL-106.393 (Federal Forest Dollars) we are no longer able to provide these services. We will continue to provide regulation signs (i.e. stop and street name signs) and in the event of a landslide or down trees, Public Works will re-open the road for emergency vehicles. Please click here for a list of roads affected. Click here for the Board Order. Click here for ORS. The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners clarified Board Order #08-110 with Board Order #14-03 Click here establishing criteria when the County Road Department will fix Local Access Roads.
