Zoning regulations are rules that define how a property can be used. The purpose of the zoning regulations is to implement the Larimer County Comprehensive Plan, promote compatible land use patterns and establish standards appropriate for each zoning district.
See the table below for a list of Larimer County's zoning districts (the number indicates its section number in the Larimer County Land Use Code).
Each zoning district in the county lists minimum required setbacks from streets/roads and from side and rear property lines. Setbacks are measured from the lot line, nearest edge of road easement or right-of-way, or nearest edge of traveled way, whichever is greater. Street and road setbacks apply to both sides of a street or road, even if that road goes through a lot.
