Tucson metropolitan zoning ordinances are local laws that define building codes and land usage regulations for properties in the area. Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Vail and other cities in our region are comprised of areas zoned for residential, commercial and industrial development.
These zones are often subdivided into sub-zones with additional use restrictions (type of businesses permitted, etc). Zoning laws and ordinances may affect issues such as customer parking, setbacks, access for deliver trucks, number and types of employees permitted, usage of signs and other forms of advertising.
If you plan to set up, expand or relocate your business, it is vital that you become familiar with these ordinances. At the very least, you ought to check with the zoning office and licensing board of the City, to find out restrictions that may apply to your business within city limits.
Even neighborhoods may have specific land use regulations that you ought to research prior to finalizing any business plan. The consequences of signage ordinances, for instance, can make or break a business.
