In a recent discussion with a supervisor at the Douglas county health dept., I confirmed that if a local beekeeper was to place hives of bees at another or multiple locations within the city or county, the beekeeper, or the person responsible for the ownership and care of the bees, is to whom the permit is issued, not necessarily the landowner.
Douglas county will still need to inspect and issue a permit, if they determine it meets the conditions for such, before the bees can be placed.
In the event the property in question is within the county/city limits, but is zoned as agricultural, then a county permit is not required.
