After July, 2019, several uses that previously required public hearings before the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners were made administrative approvals. In 2020, the County's subdivision regulations were updated to replace Recorded Exemptions with Family Farm Divisions and Subdivision Exemptions with Public Facility Divisions. Other changes included a new Rural Land Division for small subdivisions (up to four lots) in the Agricultural zone, a new process for Lot Line Adjustments, and a reduction in the minimum lot size in the Agricultural zone from 80 acres to 35.

On April 20, 2020, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil for May delivery crashed into negative territory for the first time in history. From a low of -$37 per barrel, the price eventually recovered to around $48 by the end of the year Closer to home, the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission began developing and eventually adopted new rules in accordance with Senate Bill 19-181, which likely led to an increase in the number of cases shown below for 2019 and may have contributed to the drop in cases for 2020.

Beginning February 1, 2010, a modification to our computer program (Accela V360) changed the process for initiating violations, Now a complaint is initiated, an inspection completed and, in some cases, a courtesy letter is sent before determining whether an actual violation case is initiated. Approximately 20% of complaint cases are closed without initiating a violation case. Violation case numbers are now counted differently.
