How to Fill Out a Conditional Use Permit for a Billboard
The county planning and zoning department sets forth the rules and regulations for building and maintaining structures in the county. Often, zoning ordinances describe specific uses and provide for certain restrictions on parcels of property. When a person wants to build or install something on that property that does not comply with the zoning ordinance, a conditional use permit must be obtained. Billboard companies often must obtain permits before they can install and maintain their outdoor advertisements.
