The City of Dayton’s Zoning Administration function plays an important role in the physical development of the community.  The primary goal of Zoning Administration is to ensure that Dayton is a safe and desirable place to live, work and visit.  Zoning is a critical tool to protect citizens from inappropriate and incompatible land uses that might create a negative impact on surrounding properties.

Information on these web pages will help you understand and comply with City regulations affecting land use, development, and building remodeling activities.

For a brief overview of the City of Dayton’s Zoning Code, please read the “Citizen’s Guide to Zoning.”  A link to the complete Zoning Code and Zoning Map can also be found on this web page.

We suggest before you undertaken any project you contact the City of Dayton’s Zoning Administration office at 937-333-3887 for more information and advice.
