Sutter County Planning Services

Planning Services

The Planning Division's primary responsibility is administering the County's advance and current planning activities as envisioned by the Sutter County General Plan and Zoning Code. We provide reports, studies and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission on land use policy issues. The Division processes general plan and zoning applications, land divisions, CEQA requirements, use permits, variances, and other development related requests.
