Official Filing Date and Protest Deadline
The Bureau of Land Management will officially file the listed plats of survey on April 15, 2026. If you want to challenge any named plat, you must file a written notice of protest that is received by the BLM Oregon State Office before April 15, 2026.
How to Get and View the Plats
You can view copies of the plats for free at the BLM Oregon State Office Public Room, 1220 SW 3rd Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97204. If you want a copy to take away, you must obtain it from that office upon required payment (a fee is required).
Protest Content and Timing Rules
A notice of protest must name the specific plat(s) you are protesting and be received no later than the scheduled filing date; if you did not include reasons with the notice, a written statement of reasons must be filed within 30 days after the notice is received. If a protest is received after regular business hours, it is considered filed the next business day; protests filed after the scheduled filing date will be untimely and not considered.
Filing Stayed While Protests Are Considered
If a timely protest is received before the scheduled filing date, the official filing of that plat will be stayed while the protest is considered. The plat will not be officially filed until the next business day after all timely protests have been dismissed or resolved.
Public Availability of Protest Submissions
Documents you submit in a notice of protest, including your address, phone number, email, or other personal identifying information, may be made publicly available in their entirety. You can ask the BLM to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, but the agency does not guarantee it can do so.
