Board overview
The Board is a semi-independent, stand-alone organization that licenses and regulates landscape architects in Oregon. It is part of the state of Oregon executive branch of government. Its main mission is to protect the public and the environment. To do this, the Board reviews applications for registration, processes registration renewals, handles complaints about landscape architecture practice and title use, completes continuing education audits, and runs outreach programs. For more information, you can look at Board meeting minutes, newsletters, publications, and laws or rules for landscape architecture in Oregon.
Budget information
The Board is funded entirely by collected fees. It receives no state general funds or other outside funding. Every two years, the Board creates a budget outlining expected fee revenue and planned spending. This process happens through administrative rulemaking, which includes public notices with the Board inviting public comments for each proposed budget.
