Stroud Planning Commission consists of five members, each appointed for a term of three years. The Planning Commission is appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. The Planning Commission has the power to hear and approve or deny a request for special exception or variance. They futher have the power to hear requests for rezoning, but the final decision lies with the Stroud City Council.

Applications for any of the above may be acquired at Stroud City Hall for a $50.00 filing fee which covers the cost of advertising in the Stroud American Newspaper.
