Zoning Permit Requirements

Zoning Permits are required BEFORE any building or structure is constructed, altered, repaired, demolished or moved within the corporate limits of the City.  In order to obtain a Zoning Permit, you must complete a Zoning Permit application and submit it with all the required documents, and payment fee to Zoning Administrator.
 
 Some applications can be processed immediately while others may need to be reviewed with your plans for the project; but all applications must be received and approved before the project begins.   
 
We try to make the process of obtaining your Zoning Permit as easy as possible.  Please contact 278-3434 for a permit, or to answer any of your questions.
