General Zoning Information
The Zoning Department works closely with the public and Township boards/commission to review and approve permits and applications for land use changes and development.
Its primary purpose is to ensure that current and future development aligns with Peninsula Township’s vision, planning goals, and zoning laws. Zoning decisions are based on the Peninsula Township Zoning Ordinance, which is guided by the Township’s 5-year comprehensive Master Land Use Plan.
The Zoning Department is supported by a contracted Zoning Administrator and Code Enforcement officer:

The Zoning Board of Appeals is comprised of the following volunteer citizens of Peninsula Township. Please direct all Zoning Board of Appeals correspondences to Sara Kopriva, Zoning Administrator at [email protected].
