Change of Land Use

Change of Land Use (CLU)

The Change of Land Use (CLU) process allows individuals or entities to convert the designated purpose of a land parcel from one category (e.g., agricultural) to another (e.g., residential, commercial, or industrial). This service is essential for ensuring compliance with local zoning laws and urban planning regulations.
