Overview
The use of property is controlled by the Town’s Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 42 of the Town Code). The Town of Lovettsville is divided into zoning districts as shown on the Town’s Official Zoning District Map. All properties within the Town are located in one or more of these districts, each with its own unique requirements about how properties in that district may be used (i.e. residential, commercial, industrial, etc.). In addition to land uses, the zoning ordinance regulates among other things the location and height of structures built on any parcel of land and parking requirements for specific uses.
Citizens desiring to add or otherwise change the use of their property, start a home-based business, or undertake construction of a building, building addition, or other structural improvement (i.e. deck, swimming pool, storage shed, fence, etc.), may require a zoning permit and should contact the Town’s Zoning Administrator to ascertain the zoning requirements and approvals applicable to their property and project.
