Rezoning, Specific-Use Permits, and the ETJ in Nacogdoches

Planning & Zoning works from City Hall at 202 East Pilar Street. Call 936-559-2571 if a property plan depends on zoning. The office covers land-use rules inside city limits and in the ETJ, the ring outside town.

There are separate packets for zoning changes, specific-use permits, planned developments, subdivisions, zoning variances, sign variances, and overhead banners. Rezoning and SUP packets also have forms for the property owner to sign.

Public hearings are part of the process. Agendas appear before meetings, and notice usually goes to owners within 500 feet. A short pre-development meeting can save a lot of guesswork on a hard site.
