Welcome to the open beta of the brand new Land Use Regulation Library, which aims to increase the accessibility of adopted land use regulations in unincorporated Sacramento County. The library is currently a work in progress. Daily maintenance is scheduled on weekdays from 7:30AM to 8:00AM and 4:30PM to 5:00PM. For any comments or concerns about the functionality of the library, please email Matthew Jumamoy, Associate Planner.

Several Zoning Code and General Plan Updates are currently in progress. Stay up to date by visiting our Plans and Projects in Progress Page.

The 2026 Interim Zoning Code Guidance has been released, addressing State legislation which came into effect January 1, 2026.

Welcome to the Sacramento County Land Use Regulation Library

This website contains the most up to date versions of land use regulations applicable only in the jurisdiction of unincorporated Sacramento County, unless otherwise specified.

To get started, use the navigation pane on the left (or top right on mobile), search for an ordinance through search box (or button on mobile), or press CTRL+K (or ⌘+K on MacOS or iOS) to start searching.

Do these regulations apply to my property?

Section titled “Do these regulations apply to my property?”

Regulations on this website only apply to the jurisdiction of the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County, unless otherwise specified. Unincorporated areas are all areas in a county outside of incorporated cities.

To check the jurisdiction of a property, go to our General Map, type in your address or Assessor Parcel Number, and take a look at the “Jurisdiction” (not Postal City/Zip!) value on the left hand side of the screen under “Parcel Details” and “Property Information”.

This field will show what jurisdiction you will need to contact for planning assistance. If it says “Unincorporated Area of Sacramento County,” regulations on this website apply. If it says the name of any City, you will need to visit the websites of the listed city for their applicable land use regulations.
