There is a vacant property near the home I am considering purchasing. What will be there?

The City of Woodbury is a dynamic community which is developing at pace with market demands. Most vacant land you see in the city is privately owned and may be privately developed. The city has limited authority, through its zoning ordinance, over what can be built on the property and at what pace. A zoning district can allow multiple types of development within it and, often times, property owners request changes to the zoning.

The city encourages you to call or visit the Planning Division at City Hall at 651-714-3533 to ask about the zoning of adjacent property, e.g., residential, commercial, industrial, and what types of development could occur.
