Planning Documents

Updates to our codes and plans comply with state requirements while ensuring preservation and protection of the County’s rural character.

Our zoning codes and plans are updated from time to time by the county's volunteer Planning Commission, under the oversight of our Long-Range Planning program. The Planning Commission makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on changes to land use plans, policies and regulations for the unincorporated portions of the county.

Long-Range Planning plays an important and active role at the regional, state and local level. We ensure adopted plans, policies and codes comply with state requirements, ensure preservation of the County’s rural character, while also reflecting the community’s view for the future.

Below are adopted plans or projects that are currently in progress. To learn more about how these plans might affect your property, you may ask a planner.
