What does the Zoning Division do?
The Zoning Division enforces the City of Columbia’s Zoning Ordinance by reviewing business license compliance, permit applications and responding to complaints regarding violations. Additionally, zoning maintains and updates the City’s official zoning maps. Any inquiries regarding the zoning of a particular property should be directed to the zoning department at (803) 545-3333.
The development process requires many steps before your project can begin. We suggest that for any desired project to contact the Zoning Division first, as many issues concerning developments can be address at the zoning counter.
