The Land & Water Services Division was created as part of the 2006 reorganization.  The division includes three County departments – Environmental Services, Land Management, and Planning & Water Management [the latter two departments were previously Planning & Zoning (P&Z)], and two agencies – Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) and the Community Development Agency (CDA).  The division is responsible for a wide array of programs and projects relating to land, water, housing, environment, conservation, and economic development.  The departments and agencies along with their respective program areas are shown below.
