Jasper County approves rezoning for Newton property requested by Keith and Susan Jones
Summary
The Jasper County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a rezone for parcel #13.23.300.018 (5911 Hwy S-74 S., Newton) from Agricultural (A) to Rural Residential (RR1) after a public hearing and by waiving the third reading.
On June 23, 2026, the Jasper County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to rezone parcel #13.23.300.018, located at 5911 Hwy S-74 S. in Newton, from Agricultural (A) to Rural Residential (RR1). The motion was made by Supervisor Talsma and seconded by Supervisor Cupples; Supervisors Cupples, Talsma and Chairman Thad Nearmyer recorded unanimous votes in favor.
The board opened a public hearing on the second reading and entered a detailed metes-and-bounds legal description of the property into the record. After hearing the matter, the board closed the hearing, waived the third reading and approved the rezoning in the same session. The action includes the property described in the Corrected Plat of Survey recorded in File 2026-02542 of the Jasper County Recorder, in the Southwest quarter of the South Southwest quarter of Section 23, Township 79 North, Range 19 West of the 5th P.M.
The approved change reclassifies the parcel from Agricultural zoning to the RR1 rural residential classification. The approval and the legal description were recorded in the meeting minutes; the Auditor’s office holds a complete record of the ordinance action and the associated survey references.
The rezone is final as recorded by the board’s vote; any subsequent administrative steps (filing of the ordinance or recorded instrument) will be completed through the Jasper County Auditor and Recorder offices as required by county procedure.
