Zoning Ordinances

Our Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance No. 36 is broken down into divisions to make searching a particular topic easier.  The city has been zoned into different areas, each with their own requirements. If your property is within 1,000 feet of a designated high water mark of a body of water, it is part of the Shoreland Overlay District and those standards "overlay" the rules of the other zoning area with the more stringent rules applying unless noted. Fence and sign permit information has also been included in this zoning area.

Original copies of all Zoning Ordinances and amendments are located in the Nevis Administration Office at 104 Main Street West.
