Planning & Building Brochures

Properties within the City of Fort Bragg are regulated by one of two development codes depending on whether a property is located within or outside the Coastal Zone. In general, properties in the City which are within the Coastal Zone are located west of Main Street (Hwy 1), and south of Walnut Street. 

• For properties within the Coastal Zone, please consult the Coastal Land Use and Development Code (CLUDC), also known as Fort Bragg Municipal Code (FBMC) Chapter 17. 
• For properties outside the Coastal Zone. please consult the Inland Land Use and Development Code (ILUDC), FBMC Chapter 18.

The City's brochures and forms are listed in the side bar at right and below. If you have questions about which development codes apply to your property, please contact the Community Development Department, at 707-961-2827, ext. 110, and ask for zoning and permitting information.

In order to determine the zoning of a particular property please look at the Zoning Map.
