Jackson Township is divided into various Zoning Districts. . . Residential, Commercial, Village, Industrial and so on. . . Certain types of uses are only permitted in a particular zone as designated on the Zoning Map. Typically, the Zoning Officer determines if a certain use or change of use is appropriate in a given location. Feel free to contact the Zoning Office (email is best) if you need assistance with the Zoning Ordinance interpretation.

Many property improvements require Zoning and/or Building Code permits. It is important to plan ahead and inquire about permits you may need well in advance of starting your project. All Permits are processed through the Zoning Office. Please download and complete the applications for your project.

Two sets of plans are required for any project involving State Building Codes (UCC).
