Zoning ordinances are generally laws that divide counties or municipalities into use districts designated residential, commercial, or industrial. Zoning limits the use to which land can be put to that specified. For instance, industrial facilities cannot be built in residential districts. Zoning may also specify the height, size, number, and location of buildings that can be built on land. Restricting buildings in a commercial district to no more than eight stories in height is an example. Zoning may additionally impose aesthetic requirements concerning color and exterior design. Zoning boards (or commissions), which are generally agencies of local governments, enforce the zoning ordinances. Owners should always check to determine how zoning limits land use.
