Request a Zoning Verification Letter

A Zoning Verification is a formal letter verifying the zoning at a particular property or address for a specific use.

For basic zoning information, visit the city's zoning map and enter the property address without punctuation in the search bar. The zone district is listed next to Zoning under "Lakewood Details".

For a Certificate of Zoning related to a City of Lakewood business license application, please contact the Planner of the Day at pod@lakewood.org.
