Make Sure Your Application Is Complete

The County will begin processing an application only after we receive the required fee, a completed application form, and all necessary documents. If any part of the application is missing, incomplete, or unpaid, the County may reject the submission and return it to the applicant. Processing will not begin until all required items are provided.

Growth Services is revising its application forms for Special Use Permits (SUPs). Check back soon for updated forms. Current versions of the SUP application forms can be found further down on this webpage.
