ZONING CODE
We hope you find the new format more user friendly and easier to read. Instead of one document, the Zoning Code is separated by chapters and further divided into sections to help you find the information you need quickly and efficiently.
GEOCIVIX PLAN REVIEW
The Electronic Plan Review system is for all applications reviewed by the Lebanon Regional Planning Commission. Or if you have already signed up as a user, you can submit your projects directly through the GeoCivix System. If you are needing additional assistance with the process, please contact the Planning Department at 615.444.3647.
5 STEPS OF THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The departments of Engineering, Planning, Building Inspection and Utilities have created a 5-step process for developers building single family, two family and townhomes in the City of Lebanon. This process is necessary for receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. For more information go to Residential Development Process.
