Rewrite and Codification of Land Use Ordinances

Polk County oldest portions of the current zoning code are over 40 years old.  Over the years, there have been numerous revisions to the original code. However, the current zoning code is in need of a comprehensive rewrite in order to address current and future issues in Polk County and to implement the vision set forth in the County's adopted comprehensive plan. Recognizing this, the County began a rewrite and codification process in March 2010. A Zoning Citizen Advisory Committee has begun meeting to review the existing ordinances and make suggestions on how to appropriately rewrite them.   Here are a few resources pertinent to this project:
