Beginning January 1, 2026, the Bloomington Planning & Transportation Department is required to process the Certificates of Zoning Compliance (CZCs) related to building permits on properties with Class 2 structures in a new way. Previously, all building permit processes began with an application at the Monroe County Building Department. As a result of House Enrolled Act 1005, the CZC process for all permits related to Class 2 structures must be complete before an applicant can apply at the Monroe County Building Department. Act 1005 has set up new deadlines for review, and requirements for application.

Because various City departments are involved in permitting for most building permits and the Monroe County Building Department is also subject to the new regulations in HB 1005, the workflow for various departments will change in the CZC issuance process.
