Agriculture Buildings

Owners of parcels zoned F, AE, and RA of 10 acres or greater may apply for an agricultural exempt building permit. The exemption pertains to buildings used solely for agricultural purposes.  Please note that agricultural buildings still require approval of a building permit and remain subject to applicable county zoning requirements including setbacks, building heights, and other requirements.

 Agricultural building permits require review and approval by the county’s Agricultural Commissioner, as well as review and approval by the Community Development Resource Agency.
