Douglas County Surveyors Office has been collecting and distributing digital data since the late 1990's.  With the rising costs of doing business we are all looking for ways to streamline our work practices.

In 1997, the Oregon legislature passed the Digital Signature Act, Chapter 192.825 to 192.855. The Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying (OSBEELS) adopted the new Oregon Administrative Rules on July 8th, 2008 and filed it with the Oregon Secretary of State’s Archives Division making it effective on July 9, 2008.

 With the passing of this bill and the availability of new technology we are ready to develop a process that will allow us to submit surveys for review and filing in digital format with digital signatures.

What is a Digital Signature?
How do you obtain a digital Signature?

We are now excepting surveys for review and filing in digital format with digital signatures. We will require a  mylar copy for our records when filing the final survey. 

This process will be a learning experience. Our goal will be to work together to build ever expanding services that best benefit all.
