On June 23, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance O20250005, which reorganized Title 14 of Skagit County’s Unified Development Code. The reorganization improved the structure of Title 14 to enhance readability, streamline administration, and facilitate future updates. Since adoption, PDS staff and the public have used and implemented the reorganized code and have provided feedback identifying opportunities for further improvement, as well as errors that resulted from the reorganization.

PDS seeks to further improve Title 14 following the reorganization adopted last year with the 2026 Miscellaneous Code Amendments. These amendments further clarify code, fix inconsistencies and grammar, and make additional changes based on user feedback.
