Planning & Zoning

The Planning and Zoning Division is charged with enforcing the Planning and Zoning Code of the Codified Ordinances of Plain City. Many processes are administered through the Planning & Zoning Commission. These processes include residential subdivision review; commercial development review; zoning certificate review for new home construction, sidewalks, signs, fencing, and pools. Staff provides assistance to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals, for rezoning, lot-splits, major site plans, planned developments, plating, variances, home occupations, and conditional uses.

Planning and Zoning Applications & PermitsAll zoning permits and applications are available on the Permit Portal, making it efficient for customers to complete their applications. With this system, you will be able to submit an application from anywhere at any time, monitor the status of the application, receive notifications via email as your application is reviewed and processed, request inspections, communicate with staff, pay for permits, and receive documents. Additional forms can be found at the bottom of this page. If you have questions about the Permit Portal, please review the help pages on the portal or email the Village Planner for assistance.
