  • New Construction ( residential & commercial)
  • Rebuilds                                                                             
  • Additions

These are the most typical projects that need zoning review and approval.  If you are contemplating any projects that impact your property, please check with the Construction/zoning department before beginning. We will also need a copy of your survey showing the location of the improvement.

In order to open a new business or to take over ownership of an existing one, a Business License must be obtained.  This application should be submitted and approved before you sign a lease or buy the property.  Zoning will review the type of business and whether it is a permitted use for that location.
 
Business License Application
 
If you are planning on doing any renovation to the property, either interior or exterior, you must apply for the proper building permits from the Construction Department.  If it is a food establishment, you should contact the Health Department to check their regulations and requirements.
 
Any new signage or replacement of existing signs, requires zoning approval and also a building permit.  See the sign ordinance above for what is permitted.
