• Conditional use permits

We are also responsible for rural addressing, enforcement of land use regulations, drafting and amending long-range land use plans, and keeping County regulations consistent with the goals of our land use plans.

We look forward to working with you on land use planning projects and assisting you with your land use permit applications.

Code of the West

Life in the country is different from life in the city. County governments are unable to provide the same level of service that city governments provide. We welcome you to Albany County and hope that you will enjoy living here.

The Code of the West is meant to educate you on the ins and outs of rural living.
