Zones are issued by the local municipality which governs the site in consideration. In some cases a survey is needed to determine the boundaries of the zone and to clarify in which zone the property is located, such as residential, commercial, or industrial. A survey can also be utilized in submitting a request for zoning changes.
The process for a zoning change involves plan preparation showing the detailed area of change and submitting a town warrant article to town selectman for public approval.
