The Planning, Zoning, & Building Department is responsible for the future plans of the City including the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Department also enforces the Zoning Ordinance, Sign Ordinance, and the Subdivision Ordinance. Applications for rezonings, conditional use permits, zoning code amendments, and variances are processed by Planning, Zoning & Building and forwarded to either the City Plan Commission or the Board of Zoning Appeals.

The Department is also responsible for the regulation of all building in the City. Before you build, it is always a good idea to contact the Department to check on requirements. Both the property owner and the builder are responsible if appropriate permits have not been applied for and issued.
