The Division of Planning's “Owner’s Manual” has been prepared to provide people with information regarding the services and products the Division can provide and how to obtain them. The manual is organized into five major sections.

  • History of Community Development in Indianapolis.
  • Functions of the Division which provides: 1) a brief description of the services provided by each of the ten sections of the Division, 2) information regarding past projects, and 3) descriptions of procedures used to request services or obtain
    information from the section.
  • Division Documents lists all of the maps, documents, and computer information offered by the Division. An order form is included at the back of this document so that desired items may be ordered by mail. Also, included is a chronological list of Indianapolis' Major Urban Design Projects and Studies.
  • Information Requests lists questions most frequently asked of the Division. Included with each question is the name and telephone number of the person best qualified to answer the question. Important websites listing public information available are included at the end of this section.
