A zoning administrator is a local government official responsible for enforcing land use regulations within a community. They review and approve projects like new buildings, modifications, or land subdivisions to ensure they comply with zoning laws, which help organize how land is used—residential, commercial, industrial, or public spaces. They also handle permit applications, conduct inspections, and resolve zoning-related issues. Their role ensures that developments align with community planning goals, maintains orderly growth, and protects property values, fostering safe and well-structured neighborhoods.
