Zoning Permits, Subdivisions & Land Development

Zoning enforcement keeps neighborhoods safe, orderly, and welcoming by making sure buildings and land are used the right way for the area. Think of it as community care: rules that protect property values, reduce hazards, and help everyone enjoy well-planned streets, parks, and businesses. Wellsboro Borough subcontracts zoning, floodplain management and subdivision and land development through Code Assessment Professionals.
