Custer County Ag land preservation

Custer County relies heavily on large lot zoning and conservation easements for preservation of the ag lands.  Agricultural and residential uses are permitted in all 4 zones but other uses are subject to restrictions.  Minimum lot sizes 80 acres, 35 acres, 10 acres, and  5 acres depending on zone.  The zone map was developed based on the physical characteristics of the County as well as existing land uses and ownership.  Sig Jaastad
