What is a zoning inspector?

A zoning inspector is a government official responsible for enforcing zoning laws and regulations related to the use of land and buildings within a particular area. Their primary role is to ensure that the zoning laws are followed and to investigate any violations. Zoning inspectors may also be responsible for reviewing building plans, issuing permits, and inspecting properties for compliance with zoning codes. They often work closely with developers, planners, and other officials to maintain and improve the quality of life in their community.
