Zoning Verification Letters

In the City of Madison, our base Zoning Verification Letters (ZVL) include:

  • Zoning of a property

  • Property use

  • Floodplain status

  • List of open enforcement cases

The base letter costs $100.00 per parcel. We charge the same fee to generate letters with only part of the above items. Letters with other, or additional, information cost $200.00 per parcel.

Process

The easiest way to request a ZVL is to email us. Make sure you include the addresses/parcels and the information you need.

We will reply with your fee total and ways to pay. Note: we will not process your request until we receive payment.

Our turnaround time for letters is two-three weeks.
