Zoning Information
Zoning is a set of laws regulating how property is used and the size and location of buildings on a lot. In Fridley, this helps us create neighborhoods and business districts and industrial areas.
Zoning decisions in Fridley are determined by a join effort between the Community Development Department, Planning Commission and the City Council.
We have a number of online tools to help you with zoning information and needs. If your question is not answered here, please contact the Planning Department at (763) 572-3592.
This interactive map allows you to see how areas of Fridley are zoned, search by address, and print a map of a property showing its zoning. You can also find taxpayer information for a specific property and its legal description.
Download, view, and/or print a color-coded map showing the various zoning districts throughout the city.
The Zoning Code is Chapter 205 of the Fridley City Code.
Information on signs allowed in each zoning district is in Chapter 214 of the Fridley City Code.
Information on Fences in residential, commercial, and industrial zoning districts is in Chapter 213 of the Fridley City Code.
Zoning Verification Letters are a formal document prepared by city staff. Zoning Letters are generally requested by property owners, mortgage lenders, appraisers, and legal advisors. They are sometimes required by purchasers or lenders when a property is sold or refinanced. These letters verify the zoning district of a property. Depending on the information required, a Zoning Letter can provide information on:
- Zoning Classification and, if applicable, information Overlay Districts
- Permitted uses Legal land uses
- Development and Land Use Approval History
- FEMA Flood Plain information
- Known current zoning violations
Zoning letters are typically provided within 3 business days, but properties requiring substantial research may take longer to complete. If the completion time is expected to exceed one week, staff will notify you.
You can request a Zoning Verification Letter online. The fee is $50 per address.
