how to apply FOR A ZONING PERMIT AND A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
Any construction and/or demolition, including fences in the District requires an approved Zoning Permit from the ACLUD Board of Trustees, with an initial permit review for historic district properties performed by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). Any work may not begin until a Zoning Permit is issued.
INITIAL STEPS – COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING YOUR PERMIT
1.) IDENTIFY PERMIT NEEDED:
Call the ACLUD Administrator (319-622-3840) or visit the office to discuss the type of activity that you are planning.

The Administrator can also assist you in completing the Permit application, or you can print the form from this website and complete it on your own.
2.) COMPLETE YOUR PERMIT AND PROVIDE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION;

Provide to scale drawings of the planned construction including; a plan view of the lot, noting lot lines, right-of-ways, existing buildings, proposed dimensions. Side views of all elevations from which the construction can be seen, noting dimensions. Details of construction noting colors, materials and dimensions. Increased detail and quality of drawings greatly assist in the presentation and understanding of the work proposed in the application and decrease the chance of delay in beginning your project. Photographs of the area/structure before the proposed change are very helpful, as well as any brochures depicting the products you intend to use for your project should also be part of your permit application.
