INFORMATION

The City of Gallup Planning & Development Department is charged with managing the use of land in the City of Gallup. Proper zoning helps avoid incompatible uses within a geographic area and balances protection of private property rights and economic development with concerns for environment and quality of life for community members.

All applications seeking approval from the Planning & Zoning Commission must be submitted the second Friday of the month prior to the scheduled meeting.
