Zoning and Building Permits
The City of Twin City has a Zoning Ordinance. City residents are encouraged to contact City Hall for any new additions to their residences or commercial buildings to ensure that all setbacks are met. In addition, city staff will check to make sure the proposed addition is within the allowed building coverage. New additions and some renovations require building permits. Resident and/or contractors are expected to secure the necessary building permit for those additions or revisions before construction begins.

Code Enforcement
City residents are encouraged to contact the City of Twin City about code enforcement issues. A goal of the Mayor and City Commission is to make Twin City an attractive and safe place to live, work, and play. In addition, City leaders are striving to capture the attention of the 95,000 people who visit the George L. Smith State Park annually.
The City desires to work with property owners and residents in cleaning up their damaged or dilapidated properties, as well as cleaning areas where there has been an accumulation of junk, which is a health as well as a beautification issue. If you believe that a resident is a “fostering” a nuisance, please contact City Hall. We will maintain confidentiality for the complainant, while addressing the matter in a prompt and professional manner.
