A sixth-of-a-cent sales tax, passed by Douglas County voters in 1994, has bought 17,014 acres outright and put another 45,574 under conservation easement. A Division of Open Space and Natural Resources runs the land, with its own advisory committee, volunteer corps, and events and permits desk. The county also keeps its own health department, gravel road and snow removal crews, driver license and vehicle registration counters, building permits, elections, parks, and recreation at Rueter-Hess.
Open space and natural resources staff, gravel road crews, and snow and ice removal teams handle the unincorporated county. Public health here means community health and clinical services, disease surveillance, emergency preparedness and response, environmental health, and vital records, while human services covers adult protection, child welfare, child care, and food, medical, and financial assistance.
