About the Zoning Code

Ridgeland’s zoning code is a modified version of the SmartCode. It is a zoning code which categorizes land into different ‘transects’ based on the density of development. For example, an area of preserved woodlands would be categorized under Transect 1 (T1), which legally restricts almost all development in that zone. Suburban areas are typically zoned T3, which allows for lower-density residential development. Ridgeland’s downtown area is generally zoned under higher-density residential and commercial zones like T4 and T5. To learn about what is allowed in each Transect in Ridgeland, see Article 6, Table 2 of the SmartCode.
