Attention planners and municipal/county land use experts:
The 2025 Land Use Survey, administered by the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), in partnership with the Colorado Municipal League, Colorado Counties, Inc., and the American Planning Association Colorado Chapter, closes Friday, July 11, 2025.
DOLA issues this survey approximately every five years to help us understand the planning practices of Colorado local governments. Aggregated results from this survey will be used to inform the Division of Local Government (DLG) on local government funding and assistance needs, inform policy makers, and aid in planning research. Your voice, experience, and expertise are essential to ensuring the results are valid, representative, and impactful.
Note: This survey will NOT be used to assess compliance with recent land use legislation.
- The survey closes July 11, 2025
- The survey should be filled out by a local planner or someone with knowledge of land use issues in the municipality or county
- The survey takes 20-30 minutes to complete
- Those who complete the survey will be entered to win a free annual American Planning Association (APA) subscription, thanks to the generosity of APA Colorado!
Please reach out to Emma Scheetz (Land Use Survey Administrator) with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
