Zoning Inspectors Group
Zoning Inspectors Group training opportunities.
The Ohio Township Association's Zoning Inspectors Group meets quarterly and combines networking with education. The informal group was formed at the request of OTA members; it does not operate by a set of bylaws and has no governing board.
The Zoning Inspectors meet monthly, and meetings combine networking with educational information. The Zoning Inspectors Group is also a great resource to ask questions of counterparts.
Join
There is no cost to be a member of the Zoning Inspectors Group, but there is a cost to attend the training. Membership in the OTA provides a reduction in training fees. The list of members is maintained by OTA staff. If you want to be placed on the list, please email Michael Zaky.
