Approved Land Use Certificates are required for any property located in a zoned area if any structure will be added to the property, if square footage will be added to or modified on an existing structure, or if there will be a change in the use of an existing structure. There may be other projects that require a Land Use Certificate as well. Determine if a property is zoned and if a Land Use Certificate is required by contacting the Planning & Zoning Dept. The Land Use Certificate must be applied for and issued BEFORE applying for the building permit.
