Planning & Zoning

The Planning & Zoning Department provides information and services related to land use and development. The department administers the Doniphan County Zoning Regulations (standards and requirements for developing and using land in specific zoning disricts) and the Doniphan County Subdivision Regulations (standards and requirements for subdividing land). The Zoning Administrator serves as staff liaison for the Doniphan County Regional Planning Commission and the Doniphan County Board of Zoning Appeals. The regional planning commission meets on the second Wednesday of each month. The board of zoning appeals meets on an as-needed basis. You can obtain the following information from our office:
  • Zoning and land use designations of specific property or surrounding properties by referencing the zoning maps and the zoning regulations.
  • Determining whether a property is located within a floodplain
  • What types of business uses are allowed in specific zoning districts.
  • How close building or structures may be to property lines (setback requirements).
  • What the minimum lot size is to divide property.
  • How to rezone, subdivide, or develop property.
The zoning and subdivision regulations, zoning map, applications and procedures may be amended from time to time. Information obtained from this site should be verified with the planning and zoning department by calling 785-985-2229.

Q&A

Can I build in the floodplain?

Building in a floodplain should be avoided, however, if you can meet certain standards and requirements you can build in a floodplain.  Contact the Planning & Zoning Department at 785-985-2229, to determine if your property is in a floodplain.

Has Doniphan County adopted Building Codes?

At this time, Doniphan County does not have a building code and does not require any inspections with the exception of septic or waste water systems.

How is my property zoned? What uses are allowed on the property?

Although the majority of unincorporated property is zoned A-1, Agricultural, there are other zoning districts in the unincorporated areas of Doniphan County.  Contact the Planning & Zoning Department at 785-985-2229 for more information.

What work requires a building permit?

Non-agricultural construction and construction on property less than 5 acres, outside of routine maintenance/repair requires a building permit before any construction begins.  Contact the Planning & Zoning Department at 785-985-2229 to find out if a specific project requires a building permit.
