Welcome to the Land Use Division! We are responsible for administering and enforcing land use regulations for county-administered areas through Subdivision Ordinance 60 and Zoning Ordinance 62. Additionally, the division administers Cannabis Ordinance 68, Floodplain Ordinance 69, and the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act for select areas of the county.
Staff are ready to assist you
by calling or emailing us to discuss your project; we would be happy to walk
you through the process. It is encouraged to complete your land use permit application
and payment online to process applications more efficiently. If you need further assistance, walk-ins are welcome. To better serve the public, you are encouraged to schedule an appointment with us to discuss the proposed development of your property.
