Planning Philosophy

Huntersville is fully committed to careful growth and development based upon the principles of traditional town planning and quality urban design.

What We Do

The Huntersville Planning Department is responsible for working with the Town Board, Planning Board, and general public in establishing a long range vision for the future development of Huntersville and to ensure zoning and subdivision standards are consistent with that vision. On a day-to-day basis, the Planning Department reviews new development for compliance with Huntersville's zoning and subdivision regulations and enforces minimum housing code requirements and nuisance standards.
