Building, Planning & Development
Planning and Zoning
The Building, Planning & 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 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, contact us at 260.925.6449 or bpd@ci.auburn.in.us for assistance.
