Whether you are building a new business, improving your property, or exploring development opportunities, our team is here to assist you every step of the way. Together, we can honor Hebron’s heritage while planning for a prosperous future.
Floodplain Management
The Village of Hebron has special flood hazard areas that are subject to periodic inundation which may result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base. Additionally, structures that are inadequately elevated, flood proofed, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to flood loss.
Applications for a Flood Hazard Area Development Permit can be obtained from the Licking County Planning and Development, open Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Upon receipt of the application and all necessary documentation, the Licking County Planning Department will determine compliance with the National Floodplain Insurance Program (NFIP) and issue a permit. The permit needs to be submitted to the Village with the appropriate zoning application to the Economic & Community Development Director to get zoning approval.
