Red Deer County is a municipal district in central Alberta, Canada within Census Division No. 8 and surrounding the City of Red Deer. The neighbouring municipalities of Red Deer County are Clearwater County to the west, Lacombe County to the north, the County of Stettler No. 6 to the east, Kneehill County to the southeast and Mountain View County to the south. It is located approximately midway between Edmonton and Calgary, bisected by the Queen Elizabeth II Highway and bounded on the north and east by the Red Deer River.

Agriculture

Highway 11 passing through ranch land and aspen parkland in the west of the county

Red Deer County is largely an agricultural area, and much of the rural land is actively used for growing crops, feeding livestock and providing lumber and mineral resources. The county has initiated several projects to ensure that agriculture and the environment are represented as it continues to grow.

An Agricultural Profile has been created to detail the county's existing agriculture, land and water resources. The county was divided into 19 distinct geographic areas called County Neighbourhoods. These delineations distinguish variations in drainage, soil type, water resources, and primary production. County Neighbourhoods have specific characteristics that will assist future growth and development plans.

Livestock and crop production are an important part of the economy. The county has dairies that make cheese, U-pick vegetable and fruit farms and the largest organic farm in Alberta. Amenities for trout fishing exist at a U-fish pond. The county also has elk, deer, and apiary farms as well as a mouse farm, which raises white mice for the pet food industry.

Development

Construction of residences and most buildings in Red Deer County require County-issued development permits to assure that proposed projects are in conformance with applicable County bylaws and statutory plans and are also consistent with requirements regulating property divisions and uses such as setbacks, minimum frontage, potable water supply and sewage disposal systems.

As well, permits are often required from other agencies such as Alberta Transportation or Alberta Environment. Although the county has no jurisdiction in these areas, it can assist applicants through the process.

With a land area of 3,961.85 km2 (1,529.68 sq mi), it had a population density of 4.9/km2 (12.8/sq mi) in 2016.[2]
