How to verify zoning in Jacksonville.
Jacksonville is consolidated with Duval County, giving one zoning code across a very large land area — and with it, wide variation in flood exposure. Chapter 656 sets the districts, while the Comprehensive Plan land-use category constrains what a rezoning can even ask for. Coastal and riverine flood elevation usually decides feasibility before the district does.

How it works
Available data, one preliminary view.
