New homes, pole buildings, garages, and the like need site drawings showing setbacks and location of the structure. New home permits need a driveway permit and a septic permit from the Health Department.
For questions pertaining to a business operation, we must check to see how the property is zoned. Please contact the Plan Commission at (812) 358-6108.
