Planning and Zoning

The division works within the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Code to review land‑use and development proposals, provide zoning and land‑use guidance, and support historic preservation. These efforts help ensure that land in the county is used and developed in ways that align with adopted policies and reflect community goals. The Planning and Zoning Division is part of Boulder County’s Community Planning & Permitting Department.
