Planning

Need a zoning permit?

The Planner is available by appointment.

If you call or email anytime, the Planner might be able to write a permit and leave it waiting for you to pick up if it is a simple project. Some residential projects should be discussed in person; commercial projects most of the time require site plans that take more than a day to review.
