Trees were recently harvested from my property with a permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) – now I’d like to build a structure or develop the property. What are my options?
  • When DNR issues a harvest permit, the property is subject to a six-year development moratorium. There are two options to remove this moratorium depending on your needs. Talk with a Planner about these options.
    • One-Acre Waiver of Moratorium
      • If you want to keep most of the land in timber production, but remove one acre or less for development of a single family residence, a one-acre waiver process is available. All conditions of the DNR permit must be met prior to the County approving the Waiver.
    • Moratorium Lift
      • If you want to remove the entire property from timber production, or more than the one-acre waiver would allow, a process to “lift” the moratorium is available through the County.
