In an effort to assist citizens and businesses planning to develop property, the Planning Department has created a project planning packet to provide basic information on the development process. The components of the packet are listed below.

Planning and Permitting Requirements ChecklistRequires Adobe Acrobat Reader

This checklist is a general guidance tool that the County has created to help applicants be aware of processes that they may encounter in property development. In some cases, not all items, permits, fees, and bonds noted in the checklist will apply. In other cases, the list may not encompass every issue pertaining to your project. Please visit the Hanover County Planning Department to allow a staff member to check those items that will most likely apply to your project. Additional requirements may apply. Accordingly, we encourage you to consult with a design or other appropriate professional regarding planning and permitting requirements for your project and regarding the potential costs and time required to prepare and complete the requirements for a site plan and applicable permits.

Process Flow Chart - Part I & Part IIRequires Adobe Acrobat Reader

These flow charts provide an overview of the steps required to go from the rezoning of property to site plan approval to issuance of the certificate of occupancy permit. If a property is already correctly zoned for the proposed use, only Part II applies.

Approval Process Project Budget WorksheetRequires Adobe Acrobat Reader

This worksheet is provided by the County for general guidance to applicants. It is intended as a tool to help applicants plan for the costs that they may encounter in property development. It is the responsibility of the applicant, not the County, to determine the costs and time estimates that will be entered into the worksheet. In some cases, not all items, permits, fees, and bonds noted on the worksheet will apply. In other cases, the list will not encompass all issues pertaining to your project. This worksheet should be completed with the assistance of professionals such as a surveyor, civil engineer, attorney, or other consultant. Please refer to the Planning and Permitting Requirements Checklist when using this worksheet.
