Services
The Stark County Zoning and Planning Department is responsible for regulating construction activities in the county. This means if a property owner wants to build any type of structure within the county,this department should be contacted before the project begins to be certain all regulations are met.
The County Board of Supervisors adopted zoning regulation in 1969 for the purpose of promoting the pubic health,safety,morals,comfort and general welfare,conserving the values of property throughout the county. Zoning regulates the uses allowed on land and the location of improvements on the land.
Construction Permits are required before any construction starts. If a structure is started prior to getting a building permit there could be a fine.
Zoning Board of Appeals:
The Zoning Board of Appeals is a five member citizen board organized under the zoning ordinance to hear several types of zoning issues. These include:
1. Request for changes in zoning classification;
2. Permission for certain uses under zoning named as “special uses” in the zoning ordinance.
3. Request for relief from specific requirements of the zoning ordinance through variance requests;
4. Appeal of a determination made by the Zoning Administrator.
