    Zoning Violations

    You can have an important role in helping the Zoning Department reinforce the zoning rules established for Genoa Township by informing us of potential zoning violations causing problems in your neighborhood.

     

    You can conveniently report a suspected zoning violation to the Zoning Department one of several ways.  You may send us an email at tfrancy@genoatwp.com or, you can call 614-899-0725, or stop by the zoning office located at 5111 South Old 3C Highway during regular business hours Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except on holidays. 

     

    At the discretion of the zoning inspector and following our own investigation of the information provided, enforcement of zoning compliance and, when appropriate, issuance of zoning violations will be forthcoming.
