In order to determine the zoning of any property in Madison County we need the legal description. The legal description consists of the section, township, and range.  This information can be found on a deed.  The parcel number assigned by the tax assessor also contains the legal description.  We cannot determine zoning by an address alone. You can also view the zoning maps online.

1. Permits will only be issued to licensed contractors or property owners. A current copy of the contractor’s license must be provided. A filed copy of the warranty deed will be required if the house is custom.
2. Soil and site recommendation (335 Form) from Madison County Health Department if not on public sewer.  You must also provide the approval (910) of the septic system once construction is complete for your services to be released.
3. Two sets of plans that include the following: plot plan, foundation layout with the details, framing details, electrical layout, front, side, and rear elevations.  If the home is in a subdivision that requires architectural approval from the home owner’s association, then the plans must be approved before the permit is applied for.
4. The physical address of the home must be provided. The number to the E-911 office for Jennifer Carpenter is 601-855-5620.
