Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Town of Salamonia, Indiana

Rules another office applies inside Town of Salamonia

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

• Building permitRequired

  New home construction inside Salamonia town limits, where the Jay County Building & Planning department issues building and zoning permits under its stated area of coverage (county geography is recorded as district-specific because the schema does not allow municipality-specific for county authority)

  • The county page lists 'new home' as a permit-requiring project; the underlying ordinance section was not opened because the web budget ran out.
  • Construction may proceed after the permit is issued.
  • The county page lists Pennville as part of its authority too; Pennville has its own district rules that do not apply to Salamonia.

  “area of coverage jay county: the authority of jay county is pennville, salamonia, and all other unincorporated areas.”

• Permit feesNot published (with conditions)

  Permit fees for construction inside Salamonia town under the Jay County Building & Planning department
