Zoning
Zoning is the means through which Volusia County divides properties into classifications to regulate the use of land and the placement, spacing, and size of buildings. The primary goal of zoning is to avoid or minimize disruptive land use patterns involving incompatible land uses, ensure more attractive business development, and create well-designed communities. Volusia County has many zoning classifications, each with its own list of permitted uses and specific standards governing lot size, building height, and required yard and setback provisions that development plans must meet. These regulations are contained within the Zoning Ordinance of Volusia County, Florida.
The Zoning staff administers and implements zoning regulations during the review of building permit, subdivision and site plan applications. In addition, staff responsibilities include addressing public inquiries, preparing zoning verification letters and local non-contravene letters for development within the FDEP coastal construction control line area.
Connect Live (Online Permitting) is the county’s online permit, development, and contractor information service for growth management information. Anyone can research permits, developments, and contractor licenses, submit a complaint about potential code violations, submit a change of business application or access the interactive map. Registered users can also check the status of their applications, make payments, schedule inspections, and submit a variety of applications online.
