County Development

Phone: 867-7628

If it involves land, land use or subdivisions in unincorporated areas of Sandoval County, it will involve County Development, 867-7628. The division processes zone changes, conditional uses, subdivisions and other activities regarding land use in the non-municipal and non-pueblo areas of the County for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The division also oversees addressing, which assigns street names and addresses. Sandoval County does not issue construction permits but County Development must approve State-issued permits to assure zoning compliance. Landowners also are encouraged to visit with County staff prior to considering development or subdivision of property.

Much of the County's unincorporated area is zoned for permissive uses of single-family residences or agriculture. Other uses are not allowed unless the property is zoned for such activity.

ADDRESSING
Need an address? You will if you need a building permit or utility services. Call addressing, 867-7628, and a street address will be assigned to your property. The information will automatically be entered into the County's Emergency Communications System so your physical location will be available for fire, law enforcement and medical emergencies.
