Freedom Township Zoning Ordinance

The current Freedom Township Zoning Ordinance was adopted January 25, 2001. The Zoning Ordinance defines zoning districts, appropriate structures and activities therein, and various policies and procedures to ensure coherent and appropriate planning for the township’s daily life and future. The Zoning Ordinance is considered Chapter 1 of the Freedom Township Code Book, under the recodification program adopted by the township in October 2002. See the General Ordinances page for a further discussion of the Code Book and the recodification effort.
