	Zoning

Can you build a second house on your property? How about a commercial building?

Can someone build a 3-story building on that hill across the valley?

The zoning of property determines the answers to many questions. The links below describe what different Zoning District classifications (like "R1" or "A20") mean and detail the regulations concerning zoning.

You can find the zoning for any parcel of land in the County! If you know either the address or the Assessor's Parcel Number (APN), click the GIS Interactive Maps link to get that and other information.
