Custer zoning documents are under review, so verify the current rule

Custer County is the rare place that warns you, on its own website, not to treat every posted planning document as final. The planning website and its zoning documents are under review, and the active rule set lives with the Planning and Zoning office rather than only in the files you can download. Anyone who needs the most current zoning documents and regulations is pointed there directly.

This is not cause for alarm. It is a reason to verify before you lean on an old PDF, a subdivision rule copied from somewhere else, or a neighbor’s recollection of how things worked a few years back. A rule that has since changed can quietly undo a plan that looked perfectly fine on paper.

So if you are buying land, lining up a permit, or asking about a variance, do two things. Save the current page for your own record, then call the office and ask for the active rule that applies to your parcel. Get the document name, its date, and any application steps that go with it, in writing where you can.

The work of solid due diligence here is checking the live rule, not just finding a file with the right title. In a county that is openly revising its own paperwork, the phone call is the part that actually protects you.
