What this is

A reference list of zoning codes and what they mean in Oklahoma City.

Why it matters to you

Zoning rules control what can be built where — whether you can open a coffee shop in your neighborhood, add an ADU to your property, or why the empty lot down the street stays vacant. This dataset helps decode the abbreviations you’ll see on zoning maps, permits, or property records.

How to read this data

  • Zoning Code: Short abbreviations like “R-1” or “C-3” (these appear on maps and permits)
  • Zoning Description: The full name of the zone (e.g., “Single-Family Residential”)
  • Zoning Definition: Plain-English rules for that zone (e.g., whether apartments or businesses are allowed)

Where this leaves you

This is a dictionary, not a map — it won’t show you what zone your address is in. To check zoning for a specific property, you’ll need to cross-reference with a zoning map or permit database.
