How do I find the zoning and allowed uses of my property?

You can find the zoning of your property on the Town’s Zoning Map (click here for the Interactive Property Lookup Tool) and referencing the Town’s Unified Development Ordinance or by contacting or visiting the Planning Department and requesting that information. Our staff can look up the zoning for your property with your address or tax map number.
