Start Your Yakima County ProjectWhether you own property in Yakima, Sunnyside, Toppenish, or elsewhere in Yakima County, we coordinate all phases of land development — from initial feasibility studies to final inspections.
Divide your property into multiple parcels. We handle preliminary plats, short plats, SEPA review, and county approval through Yakima County Planning.
Establish legal property lines before fencing, building, or selling. Licensed surveyors mark corners and file records with the Yakima County Auditor.
Design and install on-site septic systems compliant with Yakima Health District regulations. Percolation tests, soil analysis, and permit coordination.
Drill domestic wells and secure water rights permits through Washington Department of Ecology. Yakima County is in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 37 & 38.
Obtain approach permits from Yakima County Public Works for new driveways or road access. State highway access requires WSDOT approval.
Install agricultural, residential, or security fencing along surveyed property lines. Materials include barbed wire, rail, vinyl, and chain-link.
Adjust boundaries between adjacent properties without creating new lots. Faster and simpler than subdivision for minor boundary changes.
Assess what your land can support before buying or building. We analyze zoning, utilities, soil conditions, and regulatory constraints.
Design and install grid-tied or off-grid solar systems. Yakima County's sunny climate provides excellent solar potential with over 300 sunny days annually.
Wetland delineation, critical areas review, and wildlife habitat assessment required for development in sensitive areas.

Yakima County is Washington's agricultural heartland with extensive fruit orchards, vineyards, and hop farms. The Yakima Valley has complex water rights and irrigation district relationships. Rural zones typically require 5-40 acre minimums depending on designation (Agricultural Resource, Forest Resource, or Rural lands). Properties near the Yakima River face shoreline jurisdiction. The county prioritizes agricultural preservation while managing growth pressure from Yakima's urban expansion.
