Zoning enforcement is how local governments make sure that people and businesses follow the rules about how land and buildings can be used. These rules—called zoning ordinances—say what kinds of things can happen in different areas, like where homes, stores, factories, or farms can be built.
The Olmsted County Planning department is responsible for the administration of zoning ordinances in Olmsted County and the following townships within Olmsted County: Eyota, Marion, Oronoco, and Quincy. For information on how to obtain a zoning permit in these jurisdictions, view zoning permits.
