For several years Deschutes County has been the fastest growing County within Oregon. The cities of Bend, Redmond, and Sisters as well as unincorporated areas within the County all have experienced extensive development. All development within the County adheres to progressive statewide Land Use Laws and Regulations that strive to create fully serviced livable communities.

Development outside of cities is administered by the County’s Department of Community Development. Information about the County’s Land Use and Zoning, Permits and Fees, Historic Preservation, Long-Range Planning projects, and other extensive information are provided through the links below.
