To check how a property is zoned, view our interactive maps. Enter the address of the property you're looking for in the search bar.

If you want to know if a use is allowed based on the property's zoning, check the permissible uses in Article 4(PDF, 1MB) of the Unified Development Code.

Public meetings are usually conducted in-person at Grand Prairie City Hall Council Chambers, 300 W. Main Street. If it is determined that a videoconference should replace the in-person format or if a videoconference will be offered in addition to the in-person format, information on how to participate in the videoconference will be listed within the meeting agendas on the Planning and Zoning Commission and Zoning Board of Adjustments of Appeals web pages.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage residents who do not wish to speak at public meetings to watch online instead or watch replays. (Note: Technical issues may prevent a complete broadcast.)

The Comprehensive Plan serves as a policy guide for the development of a city, establishing the legal foundation for enactment and systematic application of zoning, subdivision regulations and other development regulations.  It is an effective instrument for budgeting local development funds, coordinating development, and making decisions based upon well-researched and well-conceived criteria. Learn more about Grand Prairie's long range planning.
