Functions of the Community
Development Department
|
|
The primary function of the Community Development Department is
for the administration, interpretation and enforcement of the
Tazewell County Zoning Ordinance. The Department is responsible
for the issuance of building permits, zoning compliance
certificates and regulation of construction and all use
activities in the unincorporated areas of Tazewell
County. The Department also conducts Code Enforcement and
investigates alleged violations and pursues valid violations to
gain code compliance under the Administrative Adjudication
Ordinance. |
|
Additional
Departmental functions include the administration and
enforcement of the Subdivision Ordinance, Erosion, Sediment and
Storm Water Control Ordinance, Flood Plain Development
Ordinance, Adult Use Ordinance, Inoperable Motor Vehicle
Ordinance and the Wind Farm Ordinance. Department duties also
includes receiving and preparing all Variance, Special Use and
Rezoning applications for Public Hearings by the Tazewell County
Zoning Board of Appeals, in addition to providing professional
and technical assistance to the Zoning Board of Appeals, Land
Use Committee and County Board with regards to all Zoning and
Land Use issues. |
|
The unincorporated areas of the County are divided into “zoning
districts.” Particular types of uses are allowed in each of
these districts. The Zoning Ordinance lists these uses. Anyone
building in the County should be aware of the underlying zoning
of their property, so they can become fully aware of what
activities are allowed by the Tazewell County Zoning Code. |
|
The Community Development Department staff cannot give legal
advice, but will however provide helpful assistance and
direction to all citizens regarding development in the
unincorporated areas of Tazewell County. |
