Clinton County Planning and Zoning


Can I build a second house on my property?

The Clinton County Zoning Ordinance only allows one house per lot or parcel, with one exception.  A secondary farm dwelling may be built on a farm if it is built to serve as the living quarters for the owner or spouse, a full-time employee of the farm operation, or the mother, father, or children of the owner or spouse.  It must be located within 250 feet of the primary farm dwelling and may not be sold separately from the farm.  A full list of requirements for Accessory Dwellings can be found in Section 4.2.1.C of the Zoning Ordinance.
