A planner will respond to briefly discuss your project, and let you know your next steps. Our ability to respond to general zoning questions may be slowed as we prioritize state-mandated deadlines.
In order to help you, we'll need to know the address of the property you're asking about, or another means of identifying it like a tax lot number or an alt account number.
