Elbert County is "zoned and regulated." The Planning Department processes all requests to Zone, Subdivide or conduct Special Use requests on property in Elbert County. Until the appropriate zoning and, as appropriate, subdivision is in place on any parcel in the County, development can and will be restricted.

The Planning Department is the initial reviewing department in the recently enacted Permit Processing Procedure.
