Project and Reference Documents


Every county and city in the state is required to conduct a periodic update of its comprehensive plan and development regulations, though the obligation varies on whether the jurisdiction is fully or partially planning (RCW36.70A130.1)

 

All cities and counties are expected to have their comprehensive plans and development regulations (including critical areas ordinances) updated by June 30 of their deadline year, with the exception of King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, which have a deadline of December 31, 2024 for the current cycle. A jurisdiction may complete the periodic update process before its deadline, but this does not change the deadline for its next periodic update cycle established by law.
