Zoning & Conditions

How to Obtain a Permit
1) Submit an application for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to the City of Canton Planning and Zoning department. 2) Attend required public hearings and obtain City Council approval, which results in a property-specific ordinance. 3) Comply with all specific conditions and restrictions listed within the approved ordinance for that address.
