Bonner County is at a crossroads, and we need everyday people — not developers, not special interests — but folks who truly care about keeping our county rural and protecting our way of life.

Bonner County is now accepting applications for volunteer Planning Commissioners and Zoning Commissioners. These roles are not difficult, but they are important. Decisions made here shape the future of our land use, growth, and development. If we don’t step up, others will — and not everyone shares our values.

This is a call for those who:

Want to preserve the rural character of Bonner County
Understand that land use decisions affect everyone, not just those seeking profit
Are willing to serve with integrity, fairness, and no hidden agenda
Come from all walks of life — farmers, teachers, builders, retirees, business owners, and everyday citizens
You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to care.

🗓 Apply Now to be part of the conversation and the solution.
📞 Contact the Planning Department at (208) 265-1458
🌐 Or visit Bonner County’s website for more information and an application.
