Construction and Development Program 

The Stormwater Division is staffed with certified residential and commercial plan reviewers and inspectors who work to ensure compliance with the County’s Stormwater Management Ordinance and Land Development Manual.  New development projects must be reviewed and permitted by the Stormwater Division before land can be disturbed.
