Burton Village Zoning Inspector, Michael Miller

Zoning Application

If you are planning remodeling, building, rebuilding or any type of construction on your property, to avoid penalties, call the Village office to see if a Zoning Application is required and the fee amount associated with your project. If an application is required, click on the above link for the appropriate form. Applications shall be submitted at the Village office with the proper fee. It will then be given to the Zoning Inspector who will approve, make changes or reject your project. If the Zoning Inspector does not approve your permit due to the plans not following current zoning, you can ask for a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals.

Variance Request Application

The above link is a Variance Request form, which is to be filled out if you have requested to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals. The completed application, a check for $65.00 and a deposit of $500 for review fees will be required when requesting a variance. Applications and fees are accepted in Village offices on the second floor of the Burton Public Library, or mail it to the Village Hall at Attn: BZA, P.O. Box 408, Burton, OH 44021. As soon as the proper fees and application are submitted, the BZA clerk will set a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Board meets on an as-needed basis.
