Putnam County Building and Planning
In 1992, the Putnam County Commissioners approved our first zoning ordinance for the county and thus establishing the plan commision and the board of zoning appeals.
In 1999, the Commissioners passed an ordinance regulating the construction, alteration, repair, location, and use of buildings and structures. Thereby requiring the issuance of building permits for all new construction in all unincorporated areas of Putnam County Indiana and establishing the Building/Planning Department.
