Zoning/ Rezoning

In the City of San Antonio, Zoning is the urban planning tool with which the City is “shaped.” The term zoning refers to the authority a municipality has to regulate land uses, including the size, shape and permitted uses of lots and structures. The City of San Antonio has codified numerous types of allowable land-uses and the zoning in which said land-use is permissible.

The City of San Antonio Unified Development Code is flexible in order to accommodate the changing neighborhood dynamics and conditions that may necessitate a zoning district change. All property owners may initiate a zoning change at any time by filing an application with the Development Services Department. To receive consultation concerning a potential zoning change request for your property, please contact staff for assistance (see contact information below). All zoning change requests will be considered by the City’s Zoning Commission for a public hearing and formal recommendation. The Commission’s recommendation, along with the Staff recommendation, will be forwarded to the City Council for final consideration.

Below, you will find the necessary links for submitting an Application for Rezoning. We have provided multiple links to assist you in the zoning/re-zoning process.
