What We Do
The Planning & Development Department coordinates the Planning, Zoning, Building and Construction Permits, Building Inspections, Code Enforcement, and GIS/Addressing information for the City. Department personnel are responsible for coordinating the review and approval of all land development and building construction projects within the City. Our involvement includes enforcement of the City’s zoning, subdivision, building, and property maintenance codes.
Our goal is to provide accurate information and instructions to citizens, builders, and developers who work in the City of York. The Planning & Development Staff also provides support to the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Construction Board of Adjustment and Appeals, the Historical Commission, and Tree Commission.
