County Rezoning Application Guide
This application guide is for rezonings located within unincorporated Johnson County, but within
the two-mile Iowa City/Johnson County fringe area. Land within two miles of the Iowa City city
limits is located in the Iowa City/Johnson County Fringe Area. Land in this area is located within
unincorporated Johnson County, but subject to special land use regulations. Rezonings in the
two-mile fringe area are subject to review and recommendation by the City of Iowa City City
Council. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has the final decision-making authority for
rezonings. Rezoning applications in the fringe area must be submitted simultaneously to both
the City of Iowa City and Johnson County.
It is the goal of the Department of Neighborhood & Development Services to provide adequate
public notification for development items. Following is a list of required items to include with your
application. For your application to be considered complete, you must provide responses to all
required information. Failure to provide this information may delay the hearing date for your
application. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please contact our department
at 319-356-5230.
