Zoning

Zoning ensures the laws for how land and buildings can be used in different parts of Fort Collins are followed. These rules help guide how areas are developed and how things are built.

Zoning covers things like:

  • Where homes, businesses and parks can be located
  • What types of buildings can be built in each area
  • Rules for signs, fences and parking
  • Landscaping and property design
  • Running a business from your home

Our zoning inspectors make sure these rules are followed so neighborhoods stay safe, functional and welcoming.
