Zoning Administration
What is Zoning?
Zoning is a technique of land-use planning as a tool of urban planning used by local governments in most developed countries. Areas of land are divided by governmental entities into zones – within each zone are various permitted uses. All properties must follow the zoning code of the municipality in which they are located.
