Zoning defines many aspects of a property, such as size and location of structures, allowed uses, required parking, transportation, lot shapes, block patterns and more.

If you are considering purchasing a property, making any changes to your property or changing how you use your property, use the DevelopDENVER tool to the right to determine the zoning for your property.  Once you've found how your property is zoned, look up your zone district in the Denver zoning code to make sure the intended use complies with the code.
