When do I need a Zoning review?
The Zoning code regulates how you can use a property and where you can place a building, shed, parking areas, or signs. Zoning is organized according to districts where all properties are regulated the same way. It's a good idea to check whether you need a zoning permit as a first step to doing a building project at your home or business.
In addition to a zoning permit, most properties located in the historic downtown require approval from the Historic Architecture Review Board before you obtain a building permit. You can look up what rules apply to your property in the Zoning Code or the Zoning Map Lookup app.
