Tillamook County Road Department is continually challenged in the maintenance of its roads and bridges by 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 which take a toll on the roads and bridges of the county. 

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.  In 1859, Oregon became a state.

Road Data

Mileage Breakdown by Type of Road

Tillamook County has over 380 miles of roads.  Of the 386 miles of county maintained roads, 281.04 miles are paved and 95.82 are graveled.  For the 47.58 miles of local access roads, 14 miles are paved and 33.58 are graveled.  (These figures for local access roads include roads within the Three Rivers Road District which are public roads maintained by the district.) 

Local access roads are public roads which are under Tillamook County jurisdiction but the County has no liability to maintain.  The County Road department will replace and provide regulatory signs and clear the road for emergency vehicles when needed.  See below.

Mileage Breakdown by District

Of the 97.90 miles in the North District, 58.90 miles are paved and 39 miles are graveled.  Of the 150.86 miles in the Central District, 124.04 miles are paved and 26.82 miles are graveled.  Of the 135 miles in the South District, 101 miles are paved and 34 miles are graveled (Road miles include all County jurisdiction roads - County Maintained and Local Access Roads.  South District mileage includes roads within the Three Rivers Road District which are maintained by the District).

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 following 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 downed trees, Public Works will re-open the road for emergency vehicles. Please click here for a list of roads affected, Please note that this is a draft working list. Click here for Oregon Revised Statutes.  The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners clarified Board Order #08-110 with Board Order #14-03.  Click here for criteria establishing when the County Road Department will fix Local Access Roads.

Forest Service Roads

Tillamook County has a reciprocal agreement with Siuslaw National Forest regarding the maintenance of select roads.

Siuslaw National Forest maintains the following County jurisdiction roads in and through their lands:  Galloway Road (milepost 2.43-2.80 - paved), Clarence Creek Road (milepost 0.00-1.06 - gravel), Borba/Bay Creek Road (milepost 1.45-2.70 - gravel), and Farmer Creek Road (milepost 1.30-2.32 - gravel).

Tillamook County maintains the following roads within Siuslaw National Forest jurisdiction:  Mt. Hebo Road (milepost 0.00-1.05 - paved) and Bunn Creek Road (milepost 0.21-1.00)

Light, regular on-going maintenance is the responsibility of the jurisdictional partner under this agreement. Large-scale road repairs and significant bridge maintenance remains the responsibility of the jurisdictional owner. The above roads are in the South District maintenance area. The above forest service road information is summary only.
