Everything you wanted to know about Planning, Zoning, and Permitting and were too terrifed to ask!
The Planning Department is thrilled to hold a series of Homeowner Nights at City Hall. What is Homeowner’s Night you ask? It’s an opportunity for the homeowners in Decatur to meet with the Planning Director, Building Code Official, Building Inspector, Building and Zoning Permit Technician, and Preservation Planner to discuss projects you may be considering for your house. You can find out what your zoning allows, what construction is required, what inspections will need to occur, and how the heck you pull a permit! For those of you who live in historic houses, it’s an opportunity to find out about possible tax incentive programs and any local designation requirements (no, we don’t regulate paint color!).
Don't let this happen to you!
When does this stupendous event occur? We are actually holding three of these nights:
Tuesday, August 4th, 6-8 p.m.
Tuesday, October 6th, 6-8 p.m.
Tuesday, December 1st, 6-8 p.m.
Location: Decatur City Hall, Planning Department
