Guiding Growth in Hood River County
Planning Services
The Planning Department helps guide how land is used and developed in Hood River County, outside the city limits of Hood River and Cascade Locks. Our work includes:
-
Public Service – offering guidance and information to residents, property owners, and local officials.
-
Development Review – reviewing applications to ensure projects meet county zoning and state requirements.
-
Project Planning – leading special projects and policy updates that shape the county’s future.
Planning isn’t just about rules — it’s about people. We encourage community members to get involved, share input, and help shape policies that impact growth, housing, natural resources, and livability. Together, we’re building a community that protects what we value today while preparing for tomorrow.
