The Planning and Community Development Department regulates planning, zoning, floodplain, and erosion and sediment control within Grayson County's unincorporated jurisdictions. This Department intends to promote the public's health, safety, and general welfare and implement the adopted Comprehensive Plan for the county's orderly and controlled development.

Land development, such as subdivisions and site plans, are reviewed in conformance with the Grayson County Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. Site plans, subdivision plans, rezoning, and special use permit requests are coordinated with staff for further evaluation and reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.

Zoning includes the enforcement of the county zoning ordinance on all properties within the unincorporated area of Grayson County. The incorporated Towns of Fries, Independence, and Troutdale administer their own zoning.

Should you have questions regarding planning, zoning, floodplain, and erosion and sediment control, please contact the Planning and Zoning Department at 276-773-2000.
