Zoning shapes the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County. Through zoning, our community is divided into districts or zones which regulate building size, location, population density and the way land is used. Typical zoning categories include districts for residential, commercial, office, manufacturing, warehousing, and flood hazard areas. Zoning is also a key tool for carrying out planning policy.
