Planning & Zoning
The City Council serves as the Planning Commission.
New Germany no longer has a separate Planning Commission. Its responsibilities (zoning permits, variances, plats and the comprehensive plan) are handled directly by the City Council. Bring zoning questions and applications to City Hall.
A zoning permit is required before most site changes, including fences, sheds, additions and new construction. Applications are available below and at City Hall.
