Forms, Permits and Regulations

The Comprehensive Plan was prepared under the direction of the Harlan County Planning Commission as a guide for the future development of the County. The Plan and Zoning regulations were approved and adopted by the Harlan County Board of Supervisors on February 20, 2001. The Harlan County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations apply only to Harlan County Residents that live outside of any city, (in Harlan County), or their 1 mile zoning jurisdiction.

No building or structure shall be erected, moved, added to, or structurally altered without a Zoning Application (building permit) having first been issued by the Harlan County Zoning Administrator.

All Zoning applications shall include a plot plan showing the location, ground area, the bulk of all present and proposed structures, additions and/or site improvements, the actual dimensions, the property lines and the building lines of the proposed structure or additions to the property; or any other reasonable and pertinent information as may be required by the County Zoning Administrator for the proper enforcement of the Zoning Regulations.
