Finding meanings of different zone codes?

Hello Gurus,
Can anyone tell me where to find a source (book, on-line or elsewhere) that I can find the real meanings of the different zone codes… (i.e. R5, MOL, CR, excetera).?
Thanks (in advance)
Monica

Unfortunately zoning codes are different in every area so your best bet would be to visit the zoning department in your area to find out the pertainate codes for you.

go to the city office or call them up and pick their brain .

First …Thank-you Gurus for your replys.
But does that mean that if I’m looking at property in 2 or 3 different counties I will need to get the codes specific to that county?
There are no standard zone coding systems?

monica,
different city in different county has their own rules. Even the workers pf city planning & development dept each one has a different opionion. Some city esp. the one which is known for its good location, has stricter rules.

best bet is show up in person and ask them directly OR call in.

Thanks Gurus!!
