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. Subdivisions in the two-mile fringe area are subject to review and approval by both the City of Iowa City City Council and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. Final plat 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.

Newly created lots will be assigned an address shortly after subdivisions are recorded. Type Tab Description: Please describe the subdivision request.
