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

Town of Losantville’s own rules

• Local zoningAbsent (with conditions)

  Losantville town's own zoning ordinance. Land inside the town limits is zoned under the county Unified Zoning Ordinance (see county-administered claims), not a Losantville-adopted ordinance.

  • Section 14.06 of the county ordinance repeals the prior zoning ordinance of the Town of Losantville along with those of other towns, cities and the county.
  • Whether the town has any non-zoning land-use ordinance was not checked; no Losantville town code was found online.

  “14.06 repeal of conflicting ordinances the zoning ordinances of the cities of winchester and union city, of the towns of farmland, losantville, lynn, modoc, parker city, ridgeville, and saratoga, and of the county of randolph, indiana, are hereby repealed.”

Rules another office applies inside Town of Losantville

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

• Zoning districtsPublished (with conditions)

  Land inside Losantville town, shown on the official zoning map that the Randolph County Unified Zoning Ordinance covers for the county, its cities and towns, including Losantville.

  • The district map itself was not opened; only the ordinance text that references the map was checked.
  • Zoning districts named in the ordinance (A-L, A-I, A-R, R-1, R-2, R-3 and commercial/industrial districts) are county districts.

  “all references to residential, commercial, and/or industrial zoning districts are as shown on the official zoning map for randolph county, indiana, its cities of winchester and union city and towns of farmland, parker, lynn, ridgeville, modoc, saratoga and losantville.”

• Permit processPartial

  Land, buildings, structures and uses inside Losantville town under the county zoning ordinance: the zoning improvement location permit.

  • Section 2.02 says 'unless otherwise specifically provided' - exceptions are in the ordinance and were not checked.
  • This is the zoning permit; the building permit process (Randolph County Building Commission) is not established for Losantville and is unknown.

  “2.02 permit required unless otherwise specifically provided, no land, building, structure, swimming pool, lake or pond, premises or use shall be hereafter located, erected, moved, reconstructed, extended, enlarged or altered unless and until an improvement location permit has been approved and issued by the area planning commission.”
