Johnson County Subdivision Regulations Revision

The Johnson County Planning Department is currently revising the Johnson County Subdivision Regulations, which have not been revised since their original adoption by the Board of County Commissioners in April of 1996.  Three separate amendments to the regulations have been adopted since 1996.  The revision is being done to:

  1. Incorporate the three separate adopted amendments into the regulations document,
  2. incorporate changes that have occurred in the Wyoming State Subdivisions statute,
  3. better reflect current subdivision needs and conditions, and
  4. make the regulations document more user friendly.

Planning and Zoning has been working through changes during each regular scheduled meeting as a regular agenda item.

Public hearings will advertised and held by the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Johnson County Commissioners, and public comments will received and considered prior to adoption of the revised regulations.
