Franklin County blends Tri-Cities urban growth (Pasco) with extensive agricultural land growing potatoes, wheat, and irrigated crops. The county has both Columbia Basin Project irrigated land and dryland farming zones. Rural areas typically require 5-40 acre minimums depending on zoning designation. Properties within Pasco's urban growth area have smaller lot sizes and utility access. The Snake and Columbia rivers create shoreline jurisdiction for waterfront properties.
