Office of Planning & Zoning
The Bedford County Office of Planning & Zoning is the point of contact for the Bedford County Planning Commission and the Bedford County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). Plans for all subdivision developments and the requests for any division of property which encompasses a tract or parcel of land 5 Acres in size or less, are required to be submitted to this office for review and ultimate approval by the planning commission. These plans are reviewed for their adherence to or non-compliance with our existing subdivision regulations. The Director, in consultations with project developers, seeks to promote compliance with those existing regulations and design standards while encouraging the preservation of natural resources and cultural landscapes important to area residents.
All persons wishing to open businesses or home occupations in the rural areas or in need of a change of zoning or special exceptions to their existing zoning status must submit an application through this office for review and recommendation to the BZA before doing so. A zoning permit must be obtained before the placement or alteration to any structure.
Normal office hours for Planning, Zoning are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Our office location is 841 Union Street, Suite 104 inside the Medical Arts building behind the old Bedford County Hospital.
