Zoning Section

The Zoning Section is primarily responsible for administering Article III of the City of San Antonio’s Unified Development Code. Our Staff supports the sound management of San Antonio’s growth and revitalization policies as they relate to the protection of quality of life and economic vitality through a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to zoning and code variances. Through zoning, the city regulates building mass; population density and land usage. Zoning recognizes the changing demographic and economic conditions, as well as general community development of the city, and is a key tool for carrying out our comprehensive planning policy.

The Zoning Section is comprised of three teams that are responsible for the following functions:

     • Zoning and the Rezoning of property within the City of San Antonio (for planning and zoning   
        information related to property within the jurisdiction of the City South Management Authority)
     • Appeals (Board of Adjustment)
     • Zoning Customer Service

The accompanying links will provide detailed information about these specific functions. If you are unable to acquire the necessary information from our section’s various web pages, please contact us at (210) 207-1111. Thank you for visiting the Zoning Section’s website.
