Yes. The county first adopted county-wide zoning in 2006 as part of its Land Use Regulations, which apply to all development of buildings, structures, and uses of land in unincorporated Archuleta County. The regulations were adopted May 2006 and have been updated through 2025.

The Planning Commission reviews land use applications and makes recommendations, and the Board of County Commissioners makes the final decision on rezonings, subdivisions, and conditional uses. The Planning Department administers the process and issues Land Use Permits.

The county's Land Use Regulations establish eight zoning districts: Agricultural/Forestry (AF), Agricultural/Ranching (AR), Agricultural Estate (AE), Rural Residential (RR), Residential (R), Mobile Home Park (MH), Commercial (C), and Industrial (I). Planned Unit Developments (PUD) are also allowed through a separate process.

Variances are heard by the Board of Adjustment, which holds a public hearing and grants or denies variances from the Land Use Regulations. Planning staff may grant limited administrative variances (such as certain setback waivers); other variance requests are reviewed under Section 2.4 of the regulations.

You can look up a parcel's zoning on the county's interactive mapping application (the Sidwell/Portico assessor map) or view the county-wide zoning map PDF, both accessible from the Planning Department's Zoning Map page.
