The purpose of the Madison County Planning and Zoning Department is to help the Board of Commissioners decide on land use with the best long term interests of the county. The Planning and Zoning Department achieves this through community-driven long range planning and through the application of the county's land use regulations. The county's Comprehensive Plan serves as an overall guide for development in the county, while the Madison County Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations, and Storm water Ordinance provide specific details about how that development is to take place. Applications for the rezoning of property, for conditional uses, and for variances are accepted and reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Department, and are brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Commissioners for review and approval. The Planning and Zoning Department also reviews preliminary and final plats for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Commissioners.
Plat approval
Steps for plat recording Plats with new splits must be stamped and signed by the Zoning Administrator. As of Jan. 1, 2017 plats are recorded by e-file. Thank you to all the Surveyors that submit the plats for the approval, and to those that put the map and parcel that the parcels splits are coming from.
