Zoning Information

Zoning regulations govern how space and land are used in New York City. They determine:

• The size and use of buildings and structures
• Where activities like manufacturing and retail can happen
• The population densities allowed in different neighborhoods

Businesses are required by law to adhere to these zoning regulations, which can apply to the whole City or just certain neighborhoods. Check the information below for details on zoning policy.
