About Our Department

In Josephine, our approach to land use is guided by a commitment to fostering sustainable growth while honoring fiscal responsibility and community well-being. We seek to achieve this by:

  1. Concentrating development in areas with existing services and infrastructure.
  2. Embracing diverse development models across the municipality.
  3. Promoting the robust expansion of our commercial landscape.
  4. Cultivating local ownership and active community involvement.
  5. Expanding housing choices for our residents.
  6. Designing streets that cater to various transportation needs.
  7. Conducting thorough fiscal assessments for informed land use decisions.

The City of Josephine recently amended the Subdivision Ordinance to adopt a Development Calendar designating specific dates each month for the submittal and resubmittal of Plat Applications. Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, Replat, Development Plat, and Plat Vacation applications are considered by the Planning & Zoning Commission the month after initial submittal, and by the City Council the month after the Planning & Zoning Commission has taken action, in accordance with Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code. Amending Plats, Minor Plats, and other plat applications subject to administrative approval are also subject to the submittal and resubmittal dates in the published Development Calendar.

 

The Development Calendar is available in the Applications & Checklists section below.

 

All other development applications (Zoning, Annexation, Concept Plan, Site Plan, Engineering/Construction Plans, etc.) are accepted daily.
