Timber Sales Available for Direct Purchase

Douglas County Forestry Department has the following timber sale tracts that are available for direct purchase. These sales may be purchased “over the counter” on a first come, first serve basis. Recently updated policy dictates that a sale that is unsold after one public advertisement may be sold direct at the advertised value. The advertised value minimums are included on the individual sale maps at the links below.  These are the minimum values which must be met in order to purchase any of these sales.
