Announcements

After five years of analysis and public engagement, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Countywide Plan—a new set of plans and tools that go well beyond a traditional general plan for its unincorporated communities, which complements and informs the Countywide Vision for all. Check out the Countywide Plan at www.countywideplan.com

Effective January 1, 2018, per AB 1379, a State of California mandate:

The Building and Safety Division will assess an additional $4 per non-residential building permit for funding the State’s Certified Access Specialist program.

The purpose of this funding is to establish and publicize a program for voluntary certification by the state of any person who meets the specified criteria as a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).

 Effective April 4, 2016, Revised thresholds for provisions of Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) and Post Construction Measure Plans (PCMP)

In July 2013, the State Water Resources Control Board made revisions to the previous permit which mandated additional review and inspection activities for development projects. These changes are now being implemented locally through the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and will impact development projects in County areas including Phelan, Pinon Hills, Spring Valley Lake, Baldy Mesa and unincorporated areas of Hesperia, Victorville and Apple Valley.
