Types of Zoning

[hometowngrl53]

Zoning categories and symbols vary among communities. A C-1 zone in one city is not necessarily the same as a C-1 in another. Typically, jurisdictions use letters of the alphabet as code abbreviations to identify the use allowed in a physical geographic area -- such as R for residential, C for commercial, and I for industrial. These symbols are usually paired with some number. The number can specify the level of use, or it may indicate a certain amount of acreage or square footage for that particular property.

You are correct each city has there own zoning and sometimes
so do the townships. Check all local facilities before you start
any project. It will save you alot of money and heartache in
the end.

Definatly heartache and money.. A friend of mine put a privacy fence up that was beyond the zone requirements you were allowed to go 6' and he went 8' he was fined and had to readjust the height of the fence to 6' and that was a royal pain.
