Land Use Permits & Approvals

Land use development pertains to the development of an existing property. This could include subdivision of property, obtaining site plan entitlement for a project or a master planned development. Permit approvals are required for development and remodeling activities such as:

  • Construction or alteration of buildings and other structures
  • Boundary line adjustments; zoning map amendments; planned unit developments; home occupations; signage; and environmental review
  • Various other development and land use actions
  • Design Standards
  • FAQ

The Permit Contact Information Form is a requirement with most applications. Please refer to the proper checklist to determine if it needs to be included with your submittal.
