​

Zoning is designed to protect property values and guide the development of town in a unified community vision. Zoning prevents incompatible land uses from popping up in inappropriate areas.  For instance, a factory doesn't belong in a neighborhood and a house shouldn't be built in an industrial park!

​

Plats are required.  A plat prepared by a registered surveyor in South Carolina must be submitted to the Town Administrator (no form required, just send via email or in person) for review before any building permit is issued or building is placed, constructed, erected, or moved on a lot in the Town of Chesterfield.  All buildings shall meet the set back requirements as required by each Zoning District and applicable Building Codes.  

​​

For all Zoning, Rezoning and questions please email the Administrator or call 843-623-9099.   

There are three main commissions associated with Zoning; the Chesterfield  the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) and the Chesterfield County Joint Planning Commission. 

The Comprehensive Plan for the town is reviewed every ten years for suggested focus of the town.
