Permitting a yurt

[mcdm007]

Does anyone have any information on the counties that are "pro yurt" ? That is to say I would like to build a yurt in an area that I can live in it full time. Small acreage preferably. Any help in the areas of Washington and Oregon would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

You might want to ask

Pacific Yurts

as their HQ is actually in Oregon. The state parks there utilize their yurts for year round camping so I am betting the state in general is somewhat friendly to it. They have a service rep here that is a member:

Yurt Forum - A Yurt Community - View Profile: Pacific Yurts

You can ask them via Private Message and see?

I am very preliminary in my research but I have seen yurts in klickitat county and have spoken with the county planner - they are complaint driven county and fairly easy to obtain conditional use permits as well
