Wellington Land Use Code and Zoning

Wellington's land use code sets the rules for how property can be used and developed within the city - zoning districts, building standards, setbacks and the review process for new development. If you're building, remodeling, splitting a lot or starting a business at a location, the land use code is what governs what's allowed.

Zoning determines whether a property is residential, commercial or another use, and the code lays out standards that protect neighborhoods and guide growth. Because projects vary, the Wellington Planning and Zoning process reviews many proposals case by case. Before you buy, build or invest, confirm the zoning and requirements for your property with Wellington City Hall at (435) 637-5213.
