Zoning Services
Zoning in Hamilton County is broken into three general categories of jurisdiction: zoning adopted for cities or villages, zoning adopted for townships under township trustee jurisdiction, and zoning adopted for townships under county commissioner jurisdiction. Of the three, Development Services staff is responsible for all aspects of zoning administration in the areas within the county commissioner jurisdiction, which in Hamilton County includes all of Columbia and Harrison Townships and the majority of Green and Miami Townships. The responsibilities for zoning administration in these areas include development review, issuance of zoning certificates, and zoning inspections and enforcement. Development Services staff also administers zoning for the Village of North Bend and Symmes Township through contracts for services between these jurisdictions and the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission. Development Services staff is available to assist with all aspects of zoning in any of the above jurisdictions.
