Zoning Information

Zoning was adopted in March of 1957 and was designed to protect the health, safety and welfare of those living in the community. Most zoning regulations are a matter of common sense and help to make sure that people use their property in such a way that is not detrimental to those living in the same area or to the community as a whole. Effective zoning practices protect property values and contribute to a community’s quality of life. The Vermilion Township Zoning Office is available to assist you in meeting the zoning requirements set forth in the Vermilion Township Zoning Resolution.

Most all construction requires a Zoning Permit and or Building Permit. The Zoning Office will process these applications.
