Planning Department
The Planning Department handles daily administration of the Zoning and Development Code relating to all land use development such as subdivisions, residential, commercial and industrial buildings, fence permits, sign permits and new businesses, as well as long-range planning activities. Planning staff work with citizens and businesses on land use issues in an attempt to promote area growth while at the same time preserving and enhancing the beauty and natural resources of our community.

Building Permits
The Planning Department contracts out all Building Permits to the State Building Codes Division. If your project requires a Building Permit, the first step is to apply for a Zoning Permit with the Planning Department. Once you receive local zoning approval, the next step is to apply for the Building Permit. Please see the link below for more information about Building Permits.
