Additional Information
- A copy of the building permit needs to be given to the applicant and to the Assessor's Office.
- If applicant is surveying and splitting off less then 10 acres to build a new home, a zoning request from AG to R-1 will need to be filed prior to a building permit being issued unless the subject property has evidence of a building site that existed prior to September 11, 1990. If the rezoning request is denied, the applicant will not be allowed to build any structure on the subject property. Additionally, all surveys are subject to our land division review. If it is discovered that a surveyed parcel is the third split of a Quarter Quarter (40 acre) section, subdivision regulations will be imposed, which will also require a zoning request from AG to R-1 Minor/Major Subdivision to be filed prior to a building permit being issued.
- All wind turbines and cell towers are subject to a conditional use hearing before the Floyd County Board of Adjustment prior to a building permit being issued.
- Any person desiring to construct a building closer then the required setbacks listed on the site plan must file a request for a variance with the Floyd County Board of Adjustment prior to a building permit being issued.
