New Business - Where can I locate?

If your business will be located in the unincorporated areas of La Plata County, you must have the appropriate land use and building permits, as well as a valid Certificate of Occupancy prior to starting, expanding, or relocating your business. For assistance in determining locations in the County appropriate for the type of business you intend to operate, please visit the Planning Department in the Courthouse at 1060 East Second Avenue, Durango. The planning staff will then show you the various planning district and zoning maps identifying appropriate commercial areas, and discuss with you some general information you’ll need in the permitting process. Please be aware that not all businesses are allowed in all planning and zoning areas.
