        *ZONING CERTIFICATE FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES FORM*     (Read Below)

            This form helps the Zoning/Building Department do the following:

  • Determine if the business you are wanting to start is actually allowed at that location. (This will save you a lot of time!)
  • Determine if the new business is considered a "Change of Use".
  • If you are going to be doing changes to the building, we can assist you with this process.

    *You can fill out this form online at our Zoning Dept Page, print it off and send it to Trudy Vasvery at  trudy.vasvery@cityofwauseon.com
