Community Development Code (CDC) and related ordinances.

The Washington County Community Development code 
(CDC) provides the regulation for land use and development within the County.  Development Review performs the review of each development proposed to ensure that the proposal is in compliance with the CDC.

The Regulations within the CDC were developed over time and are intended to implement the County's Community Plans and to comply with State and Metro requirements.  Development Review approval must be obtained prior to the issuance of building permits.
