What to know before you apply for permits
Regulations apply to properties and projects. What you can build on or do with a property depends on which land-use, environmental & zoning regulations apply to the property. Next, your project plans (farm, build, log, mine, suddivide, etc.), determine which development regs apply to the project. Many permit applications require professionally-prepared environmental, septic or well reports, in addition to county-conducted inspections.
