Agricultural Zoning Certificate Process

Step 1: Submit Application. Application is made electronically through the County’s online Application Portal. See the web packet application for the Agricultural Structure/Zoning Certificate for requirements.

Step 2: Completeness Check. County staff checks the application to confirm it includes the required information and documents. 

• If any submission documentation or requirements are missing, the applicant will receive an email that the application was sent back with a link to the online Application Portal.

Step 3: Pay Application Fees. When an application is deemed complete by County staff, the applicant will receive an email with instructions to pay the application fees. 

Step 4: Agency Review*. After the fees are paid, the application is reviewed by the appropriate agencies. Due dates are 1-week from the date the permit is assigned to the review agencies.

4a. No Comments or Corrections. If there are no review comments, the application will move to Step 5 where the application is approved and the Agricultural Zoning Certificate is issued.

4b. Corrections Needed. If corrections are needed, the applicant will receive an email to review staff comments. Revise plans based on reviewers' comments and resubmit on the online Application Portal under Applicant Actions.

Step 5: Application is Approved and Zoning Certificate is issued.
