Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Union Township, Indiana

Rules another office applies inside Union Township

Union Township does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Zoning districtsPartial

  • The APC page links to zoning maps; it does not say whether the maps cover Union township parcels or list district names.
  • District text is in the county UDO, which the page says is available from the APC office; the online copy is marked as not official.
