General Information
A Location/Conformance (L/C) Permit is required: (1) for all changes of land use and commercial activities within Cascade County
jurisdiction and (2) prior to the construction of all buildings and structures two-hundred (200) square feet or larger on all lands within
Cascade County jurisdiction. L/C Permits are not required for “site preparation,” as defined in the Cascade County Zoning Regulations
(CCZR). L/C Permits are to be issued for one use and are required for each tract of land. Legally issued L/C Permits shall expire one
year after the date of approval if construction or the use permitted has not started. A one-time-only twelve (12) month extension may
be granted by the Zoning Administrator upon request. L/C Permit applications require a non-refundable application fee of fifty dollars
($50.00) unless non-site preparation work started prior to the issuance of an L/C Permit; post-work projects require a non-refundable
application fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00).
