Ahead of any building plan near Elkton, check the Pulaski zoning map before anything else: a district label decides setbacks, lot size and uses. In this Pulaski guide: which office sets the rules for a lot, how to match a parcel to its district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up.
Which office controls the Pulaski zoning map
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, so property inside Pulaski follows that code. Outside those limits, near Minor Hill or Lynnville, the county's ordinance, if any, takes over; ask the county planning office to be sure. The quickest way to tell which applies: ask whether the parcel near Ardmore is inside the boundary.
