Council Re-Org Meeting Monday, January 05, 2026 @ 5:00pm.
Make sure you understand the process before you begin. The Zoning Officer can answer questions in regards if you need zoning permits for the project you are thinking to begin. Zoning Officer will let you know what types of permits you will be needing before you even begin your project. Please remember you must have an approved zoning permit before meeting with the construction official.
Ask before you begin any project.
When you receive a zoning permit from the Zoning Officer, you will still need to get other permits for construction. Getting a zoning permit does not mean you can move ahead with your project. All county, state, and federal permits are your responsibilities.
Zoning Permit Procedures
All applications for zoning permits shall be made to the Zoning Officer. The Zoning Officer shall carefully consider the application and all supporting documents in accordance with the Zoning and Planning Ordinances of this municipality and shall make a determination of the application's compliance with the provisions thereof and, based upon that determination, shall either issue or deny the zoning permit applied for within 15 days thereof. Upon obtaining a zoning permit, the applicant may then apply to the Construction Official for a construction permit and/or certificate of occupancy in the manner prescribed by the Uniform Construction Code as enacted for this municipality.
