About each permit
Zoning Verification Letter
An advisory letter documenting a property's current legal use, whether that use conforms to current zoning, and whether the building can be rebuilt, open permits, or associated variances exist — most often requested by lenders, buyers or appraisers rather than required to open a business. Submitted through the Citizen Access Portal; the Planning Division's own process states a 1-2 day turnaround once a planner is assigned. The Consolidated Fee Schedule (amended 06/16/2026) prices a similarly-scoped 'Administrative Interpretation' at the same $84 plus $61 an hour; it is a related but distinct product, not the same application under a different name.
