| Kosciusko County is a constantly growing community. The county is growing economically which in turn creates a growth in population. This increase in population results in a demand for new homes and new developments. Through out all of the development and growth many local government offices of the county get involved.
One of the first offices involved is the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission Office. Our office is in charge of land use and land development issues for the unincorporated areas of the county as well as for towns of Syracuse, Milford, North Webster, Pierceton, Claypool, Silver Lake, and Etna Green. There are many duties that our office undertake. Some of which include; addressing land use questions, reviewing all proposed subdivision plats, present all Rezoning recommendations to the County Commissioners and town boards, issue all improvement location permits for properties located within our jurisdiction, issue permits for all on–premise and off–premise signs, enforce Kosciusko County Zoning, Subdivision Control, Mobile Home Park Control, Stormwater and Erosion Control, and Flood Control Ordinances, facilitating the Board of Zoning Appeals and Area Plan Commission meetings, issue addresses for properties located in the unincorporated areas of the county, as well as many other day to day activities.
Our office receives calls and questions everyday on issues such as what is needed for a improvement location permit, is a property in a Special Flood Hazard Area, what is the zoning on a piece of property, whether a property can be divided, and what common setbacks and uses are allowed in the various districts. Every member of our staff is efficient in answering these and many other questions. However, if we do not have an answer we will find out as quickly as possible or refer you to another member of our staff or the appropriate office that may be more equipped to answer your questions.
In order to help our office answer questions for you, the customer, there is some basic information we will require. For instance we will need a property address, a property owners name, and if possible the property key number. The property key number may be obtained in the auditors’ office. If you are intending to obtain a permit or set up a hearing we will require a sit plan of what is proposed and a legal description of the property in question. Dependent on what kind of hearing you are pursuing you may be required to provide additional information to our office.
Our office is here to assist the public, the realtors, the contractors, and other concerned parties.
