This online comprehensive guide will help you through the Construction Development review process at the City of Columbia. Our goal is to provide an efficient and clear development review process by coordinating and tracking projects using professional and courteous customer service so that Columbia may grow and prosper while maintaining a high quality of life for all. The information is divided into two sections: Residential and Commercial. Visit the Residential section if you are working on a one or two family project. Visit the Commercial section if you are working on a commercial or multi-family project. Information that applies to all projects can be found in the General Information link within each section.
Information on land development reviews can be found in the Boards and Commissions section. This includes rezoning and site plan review information as well as applications for zoning variances and special exceptions. We hope your experience with the building review and permitting process is a good one!
