Zoning

zoning_map_1Welcome to the Liberty Consolidated Planning Commission’s Zoning Department.  Our mission is to serve the public, to protect our resources, and to guide growth in conformance with the Liberty Consolidated Comprehensive Plan and the Regional Plan of Coastal Georgia.  We are able to help you with your zoning-related and land use questions for all of Liberty County including all its municipalities.  We can assist the public with small developments like placing a manufactured home in the correct location and by same token help corporations or large landowners to rezone large tracts of land for Planned Unit Developments or industrial parks.  We work closely with all Liberty County Government Authorities and their staff. For our rezoning forms and other forms (e.g. conditional use, special permit use, annexation, variance, special exception) please click on Forms. Click on submittal schedules and fees to find out about deadlines for submitting paperwork and the related fees.

We administer the zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations (www.municode.com).  We also propose and prepare revisions to these regulations to respond to evolving developments in natural and urban environments and to keep pace with both federal laws and regulations as well as with State of Georgia laws and regulations.
