Zoning

Zoning determines the type and intensity of land use within a given area. Zoning regulations govern the following:

• Allowable uses
• Building restrictions
• Setbacks
• Density
• Minimum lot size

All county zoning restrictions are found in Article 3 - Zone Districts of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations.

These PUD guides are the governing documents for that zone and are enforced by the county.

The county’s official Zone District Maps identify current zoning on all properties located within unincorporated Eagle County. Zoning inquiries can be handled either in person at the planning office or by phone. Planners verify zoning by use of parcel number and/or legal description.
