LA County Planning is the planning department for all areas outside a city in Los Angeles County.
We help write long-range plans, review development projects, and respond to zoning complaints.
Read our 2023 Strategic Plan for Equity and learn more about our commitment to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion in our land use planning activities throughout the nearly 125 unincorporated communities of Los Angeles County and in our internal operations.
