zoning codes
Property use restrictions
Zoning codes are local regulations that govern how land can be used within a municipality.
They divide areas into zones—residential, commercial, industrial—and specify what can be built where, including restrictions on building height, density, and setbacks from property lines.
The zoning codes won't allow a factory in this neighborhood.
Developers and homeowners must navigate zoning codes for construction projects, sometimes seeking variances or rezoning.
