What Are The Different Types Of Zoning In Real Estate And What Do They Mean?

By Brian and Jeff On July 12, 2009 Under Commercial Real Estate Loans

I saw something that said C-3-G Commercial District and have no idea what it means. So I’m wondering what the different types of zoning are.

Each zoning district uses a different code. Call zoning and ask.
C is certainly commercial. 3 indicates what specific commercial enterprises can take place there; g is probably exceptions

You will need to check with the local zoning authority. Each locality has its own codes for zoning and the definitions of those codes.
It would be wonderful if it were a uniform system, but reality dictates otherwise.

Different cities and counties have different systems and abbreviations.
Go to your city or county website and search for “zoning”.

It tells you what you are allowed to do with the property. Codes are different for each area. But, you will have commercial, agricultural, residential. Residential will be subdivided into single family, multi-family, which can be subdivided into duplex, quadplex, or complex. You will have some codes for townhomes and condos. Some places have special codes for mobile homes because they differentiate between them and a permanent house.
Commercial can be divided into industrial and retail or business (like office complex or doctor’s office).
Agricultural can be subdivided into farm land, timber land, etc.
You will definitely need to check locally to see what C-3-G is. C is probably commercial. 3 would be whether it is retail/business/industrial. G is…..no idea what that could stand for, but is likely another subdivision of whatever 3 is.

their is zoning for agricultural propertys (farms) AG-1. Commercial are typically zoned B or C.
Residential zoned R1-R4.
It will vary from state to state.
