What do I need to do to put a home on my property?

The first step is to talk with the zoning section. If the property is zoned residentially, the process is different than if the property is zoned for resource use. The planners will always need a plot plan of the property. This should show all property lines, all existing structures, if any, and the proposed location for all new structures. This information is needed to check all setbacks for the property. If the parcel is going to need a well and septic system, the building section has a good handout on the procedures for installing these. In order for a dwelling to be placed on a resource zoned piece of property, an application must be made through the zoning section.
