What are the consequences of NOT complying with the County regulations?
Question: Can I build a structure less than 200 sq ft without any approval or permits? Answer: No; this is a common misconception. If your structure is outside the National Scenic Area, is less than 10′ high and less than 200 sq ft., you may not need a building permit from Mid-Columbia Building codes, however, you will still need to call the Wasco County Planning Department to find out the property development standards for your property, and if your property’s zoning allows accessory structures. Inside the National Scenic Area, all structures over 60 sq ft. or 10′ high require a review. Even if it is less than this, it is wise to call the Planning Office to find out other possible limitations on structures for your property. NOTE for all property in Wasco County: if you build before you get approval, the Planning fees will be increased!!
