Forms All of the application forms related to land development are listed below. If you are looking for building permit forms, you are won't find them here, because they are posted here.

Application Fees The Village Board has established various review fees to cover the Village's administrative costs. A check, made payable to the Village of  Germantown, should be included with your application.

Submittal Deadlines Some applications can be submitted at anytime. Others need to be submitted before a certain time, and determined to be complete, so they can be added to a meeting agenda. Because of that, you may want to submit your application before the deadline. That way, we can let you know if anything is missing and you'll have some time to perhaps get it done before the deadline.
 
Review Procedures Once an application is submitted, staff will review it to make sure it is complete. Once that determination has been made, it will be sent to the appropriate person or Village body that has the authority to review it and render a decision. Depending on the type of application, there may be just a couple of steps in the process, or many. Check out the Procedures page, which describes each of the review procedures.

Pre-Application Meeting  Some of the review procedures require a pre-application meeting with staff to discuss what is being proposed, review submission requirements, and review the application and the review procedure.

Projects Requiring Multiple Reviews  Some projects will require a number of reviews. To the extent possible, we will try to schedule such reviews concurrently.

Digital Submittals Applications submitted to the department requiring Plan Commission review and approval must include a complete digital copy (in .PDF format) of all applications and supporting documents (including all plans, reports, surveys, etc.) that is either imprinted on a CD submitted at the time of application, or sent via e-mail attachment within 3 days after the date of application.
 
Tips
  1. Depending on the nature of the application, you may need to include supplemental materials. Be sure to include them with your submittal.
  2. Please take the time to provide the information that is requested. If your application is missing needed information, it could potentially delay the review of your application.

Questions If you have any questions or need any assistance in filling out a form, feel free to contact Jeffrey Retzlaff, Community Development Director, at 262-250-4735 or by email.
