If you are not the owner of the property, the zoning application will have to be signed by the property owner or a letter of authorization (with the property owner's signature) will need to accompany the application when submitted to the Zoning office.

Once submitted, the application will be reviewed by Zoning personnel.  Please allow a minimum of five (5) business days to process the application.  After the permit has been reviewed the Zoning office will contact you with the status of your application.  Payment will be required at the time the permit is issued.
