The Kern County Planning and Community Development Department is a service
organization that facilitates the planning for Kern County. We
have a wealth of information about our services. As time permits
we will continue to add more, but first a few words about where
we're located.
Kern County is the third largest
county (in acreage) in California
with a population of more than 630,000 residents. Kern County, "The Golden
Empire," is in the heart of Central California with an economic base of
agriculture and oil.
The area ranges from scenic desert to snow-covered mountain landscapes.
The County seat is Bakersfield
which is about 115 miles north of Los Angeles.
