Planning & Zoning
The Building, Planning and Development (BPD) Department oversees all planning, zoning, and building activities for Auburn. BPD helps developers and citizens understand what type of development and construction is permissible and what approvals/permits that are required. We are happy to discuss projects, even those still in concept. If you have questions or need to start a development or construction project, email the Building, Planning and Development Department or call us at 260-925-6449 for assistance.
