Zoning

What is a Base Zone?

A "base zone" is a county zone that specifies allowable uses for real property and land use requirements including minimum parcel size and development standards.

What is a Combining Zone?

A "combining zone," or sometimes referred to as an “overlay zone,” is a special zoning district, placed over an existing base zone(s), which identifies unique conditions and regulatory standards in addition to those in the underlying base zone.  

How do I find the zoning for a specific property?

Go to the Deschutes County Property Information (DIAL) website. Type in the property address, tax map/lot number, or property owner name. After you select the property you are interested in researching, go to the "Development" tab, on the left hand side, and select the "Summary" menu option to view the zoning designation(s).
