Zoning Administration

The Town's Planning Department processes various zoning permits, zoning applications, and coordinates with numerous agencies to ensure consistency in public safety and land development. The Town reviews plans and issues permit approvals for development projects. Any development project requiring a zoning permit is reviewed by the Town’s Planning Director (formally reviewed by Charleston County until 2018) to ensure consistency with the comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, and executed development agreements. For development projects requiring a building permit, those plans are subsequently reviewed by the Town’s Building Department to ensure they meet applicable building codes.
