Type a city, county or street address to find that place's zoning map and zoning code.
Try a city like "Boise", a county name or a full street address
A zoning map shows which zoning district covers each parcel. The zoning code explains what each district allows. ZoningPoint links to the official map and code for cities and counties across the United States, where they're published online.
Cities and towns zone the land inside their limits. Unincorporated land is usually zoned by the county, and in some states townships write their own zoning. A few places, like Houston and many rural counties, have no zoning at all.
A mailing address can name a city even when the parcel is outside city limits. If the city map doesn't cover your parcel, check the county map.
Yes. Type the street address into the search box. ZoningPoint finds the city or county the address is in and takes you to its zoning map, if one is online. Then search the same address on that map to see the parcel's zone. If the parcel turns out to be outside city limits, check the county map.
No. The adopted zoning ordinance and official map control. The online map is a copy that can lag behind recent rezonings, and it won't show variances or conditions granted to a single parcel. For a written answer you can rely on, ask the planning department for a zoning verification letter.
The letter usually names the district type: R for residential, C for commercial, I or M for industrial, A for agricultural. The number usually sets density or intensity, so R-1 is often the lowest-density single-family district. Every city and county defines its own districts, so check the local zoning code for the exact rules. See common zoning types for more.
Many small towns post only a scanned PDF or no map at all. Call or email the planning or building department and ask for the parcel's zoning. If the property is outside city limits, contact the county or township instead.
