3 Who Does What?

4 What is the difference between the Building Department and the Planning & Zoning Department? The Building Department is more technical in its application review. Looks at the details of the application and the plans. The Planning & Zoning Department is more about the aesthetics, concepts, design, and placement in the application review. Looks at how it complies with the requirements of the Village Code of Ordinances and NOT whether it complies with the requirements of the Building Code.
