Responsibilities include development and administration of Teton County’s Subdivision Regulations, Hazard Mitigation Plan, enforcement of Floodplain Regulations, and overall land use management for the County in accordance with the Growth Policy. Our responsibilities also include facilitating communication between the landowners/developers and Stahly Engineering for the review of certificates of survey prior to filing with the County Clerk and Recorder for clerical errors and omissions and to ensure exempt divisions of land are in compliance with the provisions outlined in the Montana Subdivision and Planning Act. Our office also issues new rural addresses and develops project maps for other departments. All 911 address data is created, edited and disbursed to the appropriate agencies as necessary to facilitate emergency response. This office issues floodplain permits and letters to interested parties regarding the absence of zoning in the county, when requested.
