Most people find out about major development projects in their neighborhood the same way — through a neighbor, a text message, or a tip over the back fence.

The official government notices that are supposed to keep communities informed? They exist, but they're outdated, buried, and easy to miss. By the time most residents learn a project is happening, the comment period is over and the decisions are already made.

CountyWatch was built to change that. We make it simple to stay informed, and then provide the tools to make your voice heard.

CountyWatch has one single goal: provide unbiased information to you about the current proposals and projects occurring in your neighborhood.

CountyWatch is strictly a transparency tool. We believe it's not our place to tell your community what's good or bad for it — that's your call, not ours. Every proposal we surface is presented as-is, without opinion, editorial spin, or agenda.

CountyWatch is proudly veteran-owned and rooted in the California Sierra Nevada. Like a lot of people here, we stumbled into this after sitting through a local planning meeting and realizing how many neighbors had no idea what was being proposed — and then we decided to do something about it.
