Planning Commission/Board of Zoning Appeals
Meeting Dates
Being that time of the year when people are undertaking home projects, Moreland Hills Building Department would like to remind residents of the Village procedures for construction.
If your subdivision has a homeowners association, you need to check the by-laws to determine if your project is allowable. The homeowners association will issue you a letter if approved.
