Zoning Ordinances
Zoning ordinances take affect when you permanently alter the outside of your home, property, or building. To ensure your compliance with the town’s zoning ordinances we require an opportunity to review your project. This review is
important so that your project does not interfere with other property owner’s property rights or with town easements, sewer lines, waterlines, etc. This review takes the form of a permit or zoning certificate.
The Emmitsburg Town Zoning Certificate (Permit) Process
All applicable projects within the town limits must go through a process to obtain a zoning certificate. There are four steps within the zoning certificate process.
