In observance of the Independence Day national holiday, all Douglas County Government offices will be closed Friday, July 4. Offices will reopen on Monday, July 7, for normal business. Many County services are available 24/7 by visiting online services. License plate renewal is available online or at kiosks located throughout the County and state.
All standard fees are approved by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. Any variance of these fees within the established spending authority of the Facilities, Fleet, and Emergency Support Services (FFESS) Director may be approved by that Director on a case-by-case basis.
The purpose of fees is to generate revenue to offset the operational costs of the Facilities and to provide funds for future capital improvements.
