1. What is the zoning of my property?

To determine the zoning of your property, use the Property Search tool on the Hanover Park website homepage or on the Map Page.  This Community Portal will also provide all sorts of additional information about your property, including trash collection, electoral districts, a property tax breakdown, and more!  You can find more about your zoning district in the Hanover Park Zoning Code.

2. What is allowed in my property's zoning district?

To find a list of the permitted uses for any zoning district, visit the Allowable Uses table in the Municipal Code where P stands for a Permitted Use and S stands for a Special Use.

See Section 110.5.8 for permitted uses in the B1 (Convenience Shopping) zoning district and Section 110.5.9 for permitted uses in the B2 (Local Business) zoning district.

Note that uses designated as a Special Use require additional staff review and board approval to allow. Please see the Special Use Development Application if your proposed use is designated as a Special Use (S) in the zoning district you reside.  Staff will help guide you through the process.

Be sure to obtain permission from the Community Development department prior to making any changes to the approved permit plans. For more information, please contact the Department.
