Planning & Zoning
Planning sets the foundation for local officials to make informed decisions about the community’s future. Effective planning is crucial for developing zoning regulations that align with the community’s goals. The City of Obetz has established several plans that guide these decisions.
The zoning code defines sixteen classifications within the City, each characterized by specific land uses and densities. Additionally, the zoning code includes standards for various development aspects such as landscaping, signage, and parking.

A zoning permit, “Certificate of Zoning Compliance”, is required before the construction, conversion, enlargement, alteration, or reconstruction of buildings or structures including fences, sheds, detached garages, hot tubs; and, swimming pools that are 24 inches or more in depth. The purpose of the permit is to ensure improvements comply with the zoning code. If you have additional zoning questions, please contact Stacey Boumis, AICP, Community Services Director, at (614) 409-4405 or send an email.
