REZONING APPLICATIONS -
New Haven Township parcels can be rezoned or split with proper survey and application requirements. In general, if a parcel is 40 acres this can be split to two (2) building sites as a 5 and 35 acres split, one site being a farm and one being non-farm. However, for both sites to be buildable there may not be other dwellings in that quarter quarter section. There are some additional criteria for a split or re-zoning which we will be glad to discuss with you.

BUILDING PERMITS -
In home non-essential inspections will be suspended. These inspections include; flat fee, remodeling, finishing basements. Please contact CMS on 507-282-8206 for any questions concerning these types of inspections.
Building Permits are required for construction of all buildings over 10'X10' in New Haven Township.They are also required for swimming pools, signs, wind generating towers and radio towers. Demolition permits are required to demolish existing structures and ensure that the area is recovered to natural habitat. Different zoning and parcel sizes will require differing permits for construction.
The process for obtaining a permit starts with a completed application and two sets of building plans. These are plan checked for code compliance and then a permit is issued. Once the permit is paid for, the inspection process can start. As each part of the building process is completed an inspection will be scheduled. When the building is complete, either a certificate of occupancy or a final inspection will be done.
Please call Ann Fahy-Gust, Planning and Zoning administrator 507-206-9772 for a complete set of instructions and a permit application.
