The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Grid - Line is linework derived from the master coverage of the PLSS maintained by the Assessor's Office. This dataset only contains linework and attribute information for townships, ranges, sections, quarter sections and quarter quarter sections and government lot lines. It is compiled from recorded surveys and plats, coordinates and linework supplied by private surveyors, Snohomish County Public Works Survey, cities, Washington State Department Of Natural Resources (DNR) and the United States Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Standard BLM methods are used to construct the aliquot grid. In coastal areas, the aliquot grid may not apply for many of the coastal sections, it has been constructed for the purposes of land title and defining map extents for automated routines.

Data DictionaryPageIndex_Poly represents the bounds of the Snohomish County Assessor’s tax Parcel Maps and is used as the index layer in Esri’s Data Driven Pages tool to automate Parcel Map generation. PageIndex_Poly is maintained as part of the County’s Integrated Land Records database and is based on the Public Land Survey System representing Sections and Quarter Sections. It is derived from the PLSS_Poly dataset and regenerated every few years to keep up with increasing tax parcel density. At the time of generation, Section Maps are converted into Quarter Section Maps when the unstacked (flattened) tax parcel count is greater than or equal to 150 per section.

The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Grid - Polygon are polygons derived from the master coverage of the PLSS maintained by the Assessor's Office. This dataset only contains polygon information. It contains polygons mostly at a quarter quarter section resolution except in certain non-urban areas where a lower full section resolution or hybrid is used. It is compiled from recorded surveys and plats, coordinates and linework supplied by private surveyors, Snohomish County Public Works Survey, cities, Washington State Department Of Natural Resources (DNR) and the United States Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Standard BLM methods are used to construct the aliquot grid. In coastal areas, the aliquot grid may not apply for many of the coastal sections, it has been constructed for the purposes of land title and defining map extents for automated routines.

Snohomish County adopted a Mineral Resource Lands (MRL) in Map 2 of the Future Land Use Map on February 1, 2006, designating and protecting land containing mineral resources of long-term significance. The MRL designation overlays other land use designations, and is intended to (1) limit mineral activity to areas within the MRL, and (2) restrict intense rural land uses within the MRL to preserve future access to the mineral resources. A 1999 mineral lands inventory identified 177,000 acres of mineral resources in Snohomish County. Of the 177,000 acres identified in the inventory, 131,000 acres are designated in the MRL. The MRL represents all of the mineral resource deposits in the county which meet the criteria for volume, quality, and extractability; are under county jurisdiction and are not slated for more intensive urban development; and are located in predominantly undeveloped, low density rural or forest areas where land use and environmental incompatibility issues have been addressed at a countywide level. Some of SCC 30.32C was amended by Amended Ord. 21-060 on 10/6/2021.

Active project and permitting records from the PDS permitting database are joined to cadastral parcels. Of the plethora of all possible permit types, these data are generalized in the following groupings: Construction vs. Decision, Commercial vs. Residential, and Land Disturbing Activity (LDA). Examples may include, though not limited to, per se Construction permits indicate building permits for structures. Decisions may indicate Land Use permitted for Plats and Rezones. LDA permits are required for new or replaced impervious areas greater than 2,000 square feet (s.f.), clearing/grading greater than 7,000 s.f., more than 100 cubic yards in volume, activity in critical areas, and other criteria. Status is classified as "In Review" and/or "Under Construction", depending on the query of all the permits relating to the parcel_id number. This geo-dataset is dedicated to the map viewer of the same name (https://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/3820/PDS-Active-Projects-and-Permits).

This data set is a compilation of tax code area boundaries in Snohomish County, Washington. Tax code areas are formed from a composite of special purpose district boundaries such as cities, fire districts, school districts, etc. Tax code areas represent areas with a uniform tax (levy) rate for that area. The boundaries of the present data set are compiled from data sets for many of the taxing districts that were compiled from legal descriptions for each annexation from the original incorporation onward. Legal descriptions were interpreted without assumption of intent or bias from any pre-existing maps. Spatial registration conforms to features in the Snohomish County parcel data set. For areas where special purpose district boundaries have not been converted, the boundaries were taken from a manually maintained atlas.

Washington State’s Growth Management Act (GMA) (chapter 36.70A RCW) requires the development of a comprehensive plan. Comprehensive Plan {https://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/2139/Comprehensive-Plan} changes are voted on once per year by the Snohomish County Council, with recommendations given by the Planning Commission, Public comments, and the Department of Planning and Development Services (PDS).The Comprehensive Plan serves as the document that guides County decisions and services on a wide range of topics, including: land use, transportation, parks, housing, capital facilities and the natural environment. The Comprehensive Plan consists of five components:The General Policy Plan consists of goals, objectives and policies that serve as a guide to the county’s growth and development.The Future Land Use Map (PDF) expresses graphically the 20-year vision of the preferred land use pattern. It identifies the urban growth areas around cities and towns, as well as urban, rural, and resource lands. The map is implemented through numerous zoning classifications and development regulations.The Transportation Element presents a plan for transportation facilities and services to support the needs of the projected populations.The Capital Facilities Plan (PDF) contains an inventory of the county’s public facilities and utilities, establishes level of service standards necessary to support development, and prioritizes facilities needed to support the needs of the projected populations.The Park and Recreation Element presents a plan for park and recreation facilities and services to support the needs of the projected populations.Outside of the periodic update cycle, less extensive revisions are allowed through the docketing process and County-initiated amendment proposals. Information on current and past proposals, and to find out about submitting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan can be obtained from the Docket and County-Initiated Amendments web page.
