About Our Department

The Exeter Planning Department oversees residential and commercial development including site and subdivision plan reviews, lot line adjustments and land use regulations development and revision.

Our staff is available to assist applicants and land use consultants throughout the planning review process and encourages preliminary and on-going consultation to help the process proceed smoothly and efficiently.

The Planning Department is also responsible for maintaining the town's Capital Improvement Program, Master Plan, Site and Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Ordinance and all plans and records associated with development in Exeter, NH.

To further assist the residents of Exeter, our office also coordinates the efforts of the Town of Exeter's Conservation Commission, Historic District Commission, Heritage Commission, Planning Board, Sustainability Advisory Committee, and Zoning Board of Adjustment.
