In 2010, The City of Corinth approved its first complete Comprehensive Plan.  With much help from area residents and area stakeholders, the Committee was able to formulate a plan that best suits the City for future growth.

What is the Unified Development Code?  The Unified Development Code or UDC is comprised of all of the development ordinances such as zoning, subdivision regulations, fencing, landscaping, and signage that developers, contractors, or other trades must follow before building in the City.  These standards ensure that the development of our City follows the adopted Comprehensive Plan.

On May 2, 2013, the City of Corinth adopted the Unified Development Code (the UDC) and a revised Zoning Map.  The UDC is intended to ensure that future development occurs in a well-planned, attractive and coordinated manner, for the health safety and welfare of Corinth Citizens.  You should know:

The UDC provides that property owners may continue all existing uses and structures of property that are permitted under the former Zoning Ordinance as long as they continue to be used and they are registered with the City by May 2, 2014.  The UDC regulations allow for the replacement of these structures in the event of destruction by natural disaster if construction begins within twelve months of the destruction.  USE NON-CONFORMING USE REGISTRATION APPLICATION BELOW.

The UDC permits owners to continue and maintain all existing residential accessory strutures and buildings such as carports, storage buildings, and garage conversions, as long as you register them with the City by May 2, 2014.  As well, if registered, the UDC regulations allow for the replacement of these structures in the event of destruction by natural disaster if construction begins within twelve months of the destruction.  USE NON-CONFORMING USE REGISTRATION APPLICATION BELOW.

If you have a question about whether you must submit a registration application for a use or structure on your property, please contact the Department of Planning and Development at 940-498-3285 or email .

If the UDC alters a use that the former Zoning Ordinance permitted on your property, the City invites you to contact the Department of Planning and Development at 940-498-3260 or to discuss how the UDC affects your property and authorizes you to submit an application to obtain desired changes at no charge through August 2, 2013.  After that date, the usual application fees shall apply.  USE ZONING CHANGE APPLICATION BELOW.
