The Planning Dept. will check each building site to be sure it is not in a flood plain, watershed, or school zone as well as stay abreast of all County ordinances to enable you to build safely. This department also monitors the dividing of land into smaller tracts, mobile home parks and other land use matters. For information on this, see the web page entitled, "Ordinances."
