Building and Zoning Regulations

Building and zoning regulations are laws set by local governments to manage how land and buildings can be used and constructed. Zoning regulations divide areas into categories, like residential, commercial, or industrial, specifying what types of buildings and activities are allowed in each zone. Building regulations ensure that construction meets safety standards, structural integrity, and health codes. Together, these regulations aim to promote organized development, protect public health and safety, and ensure that communities grow in a way that is planned and sustainable. Compliance with these regulations is essential for obtaining permits before starting any construction project.
