The Planning Department is part of the Public Services Department, as well as, the Engineering Department, the Building Inspection and Codes Department, the Geographic Information System Department, the Stormwater Department and the Codes Enforcement Department.











Growth Management Plan

  • Conducting small area studies.
  •  Providing assistance to the elected officials and various commissions and boards as they make recommendations regarding the continued growth and development of the City.

Current planning consists of providing assistance to applicants as they consider the development of their property, relocating their business to the City of Lebanon, and serving several elected and appointed boards and commissions.
