In November 2021, the Board of County Commissioners ("BoCC") adopted Resolution 2021-89 which provided an interim policy for recreational vehicle temporary use permits.

Since the resolution was adopted, there have been no applications for such a permit, mainly because the Development Services Department did not have the staff to enforce unpermitted RV use. The department is now fully staffed and is able to process and enforce these permits.
