Planning in Jefferson County

The Planning Department works hard to serve Jefferson County.  From updating the Transportation System Plan to updating the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan, from working on development proposals for hemp oil extractors to new homes, the work is diverse.  And so are the hopes and dreams of citizens.  

If you have questions about zoning, land uses, permit processes, public hearings, long range planning efforts, we want to hear from you.   

Please call (541)475-4462 or stop by the office at 85 SE D Street in Madras so we can assist you.  Office hours are 8:00-5:00 Monday through Friday.
