Do you live, work, or build in unincorporated Adams County? Help us improve the County’s development and zoning standards!

The land use code guides how property is used and developed in unincorporated Adams County. It impacts housing, environment, sustainability, landscaping, commerical and industrial activities, process, governance, and more. 

The code is being updated to make it easier for staff and the public to use, implement the Advancing Adams Comprehensive Plan (2022), and incorporate best practices and community feedback. 

We want to hear about your experience using the code, how potential updates may effect you, and your thoughts on what we should consider in the update.

Your feedback will be used to help draft the new land use code which is anticipated to be completed in 2025.

Status Update:

Community members were invited to participate in a survey, neighborhood meeting or stakeholder workshop between November 2023-March 2024.

Check back in late April to view the engagement summary which will inform upcoming technical code amendments.

Check back for future engagement oppourtunities as the new land use code is drafted.
