Applicants
A zoning permit is required when applying for any new construction, alteration, addition, change in use, and/or accessory structure. It is important that the applicant plan ahead and, when applying for a zoning permit, obtain and bring along a scaled, accurate plot plan or survey of the property. The applicant may complete the one-page application at the Zoning Office. If all items are in order, the Zoning Officer will issue a zoning clearance which allows the applicant to apply for a building permit. Building permits are issued by the Code & Construction Office.
