Home Zone

Every city and county has their own zoning laws that define and restrict how property owners can use land. The purpose of zoning regulations is to establish development standards and to ensure that land is used for the common good. There are restrictions on both the type of structures that can be built and how the property can be used.

Common zoning categories are residential, agricultural, industrial, commercial and recreational. There are sub-categories such as single-family residential zones and multiple family residential zones, (areas where condo and apartment complexes are permitted.)

Zoning ordinances also restrict the height and square footage of the buildings, the number of stories allowed and proximity of one building to another. They control the type of facilities that are required for each use -- for instance, if a residential property must have a driveway. Whether you intend to buy a new piece of property or improve one that you already own, zoning laws will dictate what you will be able to do with your land.
