To submit any application, please e-mail your application with all relevant paperwork to [email protected]. Once our Permitting Team receives your application and determines it is complete, they will contact you for payment. Currently only e-checks and credit cards will be accepted. An application will be considered submitted and processing will begin after receiving payment. Please do not include all documents within one attachment. Include the application, building plans, and any other information such as engineering or Manual J, D and S’s as individual files. We recommend you do not send the files as a zip file, as they take longer for us to process.
There are two types of land use applications: staff level and hearing level. All applications must be submitted with a master application along with the individual application checklist. Click on the appropriate checklist below and submit the checklist that matches your type of application along with the master application.
If you run out of room for applicant information, you can submit an additional signature page. Also, when submitting a final plat application to the Planning and Zoning Division, a separate final plat submittal to the County Surveyor is also required.
