GENERAL INFORMATION

The Board of Commissioners officially adopted the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) on December 8, 2020, with an effective date of January 12, 2021.  The UDO repealed and replaced the County's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances, including Appendices A-C.  The Interim Development Ordinance (IDO) was repealed effective January 12, 2021.  Any zoning or subdivision project submitted on or after January 12, 2021, will need to comply with the UDO.  The UDO has now been codified in Chapter 114 of Municode. 

With the adoption of the UDO, the County's Official Zoning Map was updated and approved by the Board of Commissioners at their January 12, 2021, meeting.  Community Development prints the Official Zoning Map in January of each calendar year.  This map identifies zoning amendments adopted during the prior calendar year.  The January 2025 map can be accessed through the following link - 2025 Zoning Map.  The Official Zoning Map, with amendments approved during the calendar year, is available on the GIS webpage.
