Zoning Verification Letter

Overview

To verify the zoning designation of any property within the City of Anaheim, we recommend utilizing our online mapping application which provides you the property’s zoning designation.

You may also request a “Zoning Verification Letter” by visiting Anaheim.net/Next. A Zoning Verification Letter is a formal letter from the Planning Services Division that states the zoning of a property, previous zoning entitlements, and applicable rebuild clauses.

Please be advised that, items such as: Requests regarding open Fire Code, Building Code and Zoning Code Violations, as well as copies of the Certificates of Occupancy are handled separately as a public records requests (and not a zoning letter) and most of that information is available via the City’s online public portal. 

To submit a records request, such a copies of previous entitlements, you may submit a public records request form by clicking here and emailing it to PRecords@anaheim.net.
