Laws & Regulations

Understand the laws & regulations that affect your property

Environmental permits and regulations are designed to ensure that residents are managing their land in a way that does not impact our shared water resources. Water is regulated at many levels, starting with the federal government and tribal governments, then at the state level, and finally at the level of our local counties and cities. Different permits and regulations apply depending on your project and location. It is important to be informed on existing regulations and what steps you need to take before beginning a project.

Do you need help determining what environmental permits your project may need? Visit the Governor’s Office for Regulatory Innovation & Assistance.
