Where is your property located?
Use the account number from your property tax
statement or site address to identify the property
location. The planning offices will use this specific
location to identify the zoning. The Land Use Zones
define the potential use of the property (e.g. industrial,
residential). Check with the planning office to
determine potential uses of property.
- If you are located on the Umatilla Indian
Reservation
contact the Tribal
Planning Office.
- If you are located within city limits
contact your city
planner or recorder to obtain development or zoning
permits.
- If you are outside the city limits, but
inside the Urban
Growth Boundary, check
with either the city or the
county to determine zoning jurisdiction.
- If your property is outside the Urban Growth Boundary, contact the Umatilla County Planning Dept., County Courthouse, Room #104, 216 SE 4th Street, Pendleton at (541) 278-6252.

or not this will be
required contact the Planning Department.

When Will you Need a Zoning Permit?
A Zoning Permit is required when developing a property in a
number of situations. The zone in which the property
is located makes the difference. A use that is
permitted outright is outlined in the Development Code.
Applying for a Zoning Permit please provide:
- The location of the property. The map and tax lot number identifying your property can be found on your property tax statement.
- A site plan showing the property boundaries,
where the structure will be located on the property,
and distances between the new structure, other
existing structures, and property lines or easements.
- An application fee.
- ALL Property Owners signatures.
For
Your Information
A site address will be issued for a new home or
business at the time the zoning permit is approved. An
address marker will be provided for areas outside of a
city urban growth area. The placement of the mail box
will be decided by the post office and mail carrier.
