  • The county sheet does not state a mandatory-connection rule or availability distance, so whether a new home must connect when sewer or water is available is not established here.

Rules another office applies inside Town of North Webster

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

• Local zoningPresent (with conditions)

  Land inside North Webster town limits, which is a participating municipality under the Kosciusko County Zoning Ordinance. This is county zoning, not an ordinance adopted by the town.

  • North Webster joined the county zoning ordinance on 7/20/83 according to the ordinance's joining list.
  • The county board of zoning appeals carve-out names only the town of Syracuse, so North Webster land falls under the county division.
  • Scope is county geography because the schema does not allow municipality-specific geography for a county authority. Permitted uses and district limits inside the town were not verified.
