For maps and information relating to zoning, please visit our Zoning By-law page.

The City of Windsor Zoning Maps indicate what category and uses are allowed on Private Property. The prefix of the zoning indicates the basic use, and the detailed use is specified by numbers; example RD 1.1 refers to a residential district (RD), that allows only single unit dwellings, existing duplex, or semi detached, as well as accessory uses (1.1). Other prefixes refer to C- commercial, M- manufacturing or industrial, I - Institutional, G - Green Space

Please Note: Zoning can change weekly; each map has a date that is reflective of the update.

For specific information on what uses are allowed for each zoning, please visit the 2nd floor of 350 City Hall Square West. Formal responses are available by letter for a fee of $65.00. Zoning information given informally or over phone often leads to confusion; only formal responses should be relied upon, as zoning changes and related information are ever changing.

To view various Zoning Maps, open the Map Index, zoom and pan to desired area and click the Map Number to open appropriate map in PDF format.
