Zoning
What is Zoning?

• Zoning refers to municipal or local laws or regulations that govern how real property
can and cannot be used in certain geographic areas.

• Zoning allows local governments to regulate which areas under their jurisdiction may
have real estate or land used for particular purposes.

• Examples of zoning classification include residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial,

or hotel.

• Zoning can limit specific details of construction such as, height, lot coverage, setbacks,
green areas and open space, parking, etc.

• Zoning is governed by Chapter 33 of the Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances
