Zoning Confirmation Letter Administrative Process
A zoning confirmation letter is a statement from the Department of Permitting Services that identifies and describes the zone in which a property is located. The letter may include information about the permitted uses in the zone and/or pending or resolved zoning violations. It often verifies the property was in compliance at the time permits were issued. The letter is mainly used to submit to lenders as due diligence documentation for financing or refinancing.
Requests for zoning confirmation letters for multi-family structures (e.g. condominiums, apartments and some townhouses) will be processed as commercial zoning confirmation letters. Residential properties with special exceptions or conditional uses will also be processed as a commercial request.
Not at this time but DPS is working to make the application available online.
