CASCADE COUNTY ZONING

Cascade County has several different types of zoning throughout the county.  Depending on where a parcel of land is located in the county, land use regulations will differ.  In the late 70's, the Cascade County Development Plan was adopted by the Cascade County Commissioners.  The development plan labeled all land within Cascade County, that was not part of an incorporated City or Town, City-County Jurisdictional Area, or other created Zoning District, as residential/agricultural zoned land.  This land use allows for a single family dwelling on each separate parcel of land listed within the county as well as normal agricultural operations.  For parcels of land that people want to develop for commercial uses, a Commercial Development Permit is required.  Contact the Cascade County Planning Department for the application and permitting process details and for any other information regarding change of use on parcels within the county. Listed below are descriptions of the different zoning districts within Cascade County.  Regulations governing these areas within Cascade County, as well as a map of the various districts are located to the right. All of the listed zoning areas have differring regulations and development requirements.  Please contact the Cascade County Planning Department with any questions you have for these areas.
