Planning Board

The Lincoln County Planning Board was originally appointed by the County Commissioners in March 2006 with two (2) year terms that are renewable. The Board meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month for a public Board Meeting, pending agenda items and functions as an advisory body to the Board of County Commissioners.

The Board, working directly with the Planning Department, has the responsibility of administering and updating the Lincoln County Growth Policy, Subdivision Regulations and other County regulations, policies and ordinances as directed by the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners.  The Planning Department is responsible for preparing all documents regarding land development in Lincoln County, including reviewing and making recommendations on many land development applications.

Additionally, the Lincoln County Planning Board reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on all major subdivision applications and Lakeshore Construction Applications.
