Current Planning

Steve Franks; Development Services Manager

 
Washington County Current Planning Services encompasses Development Review, Development Assistance, and activities pertaining to land development in the unincorporated areas of Washington County; Development Review Services provide for development compliance activities as they relate to implementation of the County’s

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.
