The City of Covington Zoning Code regulates development within the City. Zoning regulations govern land use, building height and density, parking requirements, signage regulations, and the character of development on private property, as well as property uses.
While zoning ordinances vary from city to city, areas are typically designated for residential, business, or industrial uses. So before you open a convenience store in your garage or convert your office building into an apartment complex, you should check with your local zoning authority.
