Neighborhood Meetings for Proposed Developments:

NOTE: These meetings are for proposed developments in the unincorporated portions of the County (outside cities) only. For information on development within a city, please contact the city. This information is provided as a courtesy only. Developers are required to hold Neighborhood Meetings prior to submitting certain land use applications to Washington County. A developer may also choose to hold such a meeting voluntarily if it is not required by county code. These meetings are intended to serve as a forum for the developer, affected CPOs (Citizen Participation Organizations), and property owners within the required notification buffer (500 feet in urban areas; 1,000 feet in rural areas) to discuss the proposal prior to the developer submitting an application to the county. County staff do not schedule these meetings and do not attend them. For more information, see the Mandatory Neighborhood Meeting & Mailings Requirements.
