Your Monsoon Zoning Questions Answered

What is a Zoning Code?

A zoning code defines what a piece of land is allowed to be used for (e.g., residential, business/industrial or farm). There is a lot of information to review about zoning, so let’s summarize a few things. There are two types of zoning: county zoning and city zoning. Some examples of zoning codes you may find are: RU4, C1-2 R16, R3, C-3, R-5, R-43 and more.

Your clients may want to know about zoning codes to determine what they can and can’t do on a property. Some commonly researched zoning questions are regarding R.V.’s, livestock, horse properties and multiple dwellings.
