Zoning Verification

What is Zoning Verification?

The Planning Division provides two different types of zoning verification letters:

  • A Zoning letter type will verify a property’s current zoning and indicate if a specified use is allowed in the applicable zoning district.
  • A Variance letter type will verify if the Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals has approved any Variances or Special Exceptions on the specified property.
