How do I know which Zoning District my property is in?

The Town of Kenasville has a Zoning Map, which divdies the properties in Kenansville into different districts. The Zoning Map can be found above in the Related Documents section labeled Kenansville Zoning Map. 

If you still need assistance identifying where your property falls, a good resource to use would be to use Duplin GIS to see where your property falls on that map. Once you locate the property on the Duplin GIS map, match up the property shape to the Town of Kenansville's Zoning Map. You should be able to determine what zone your property falls into using that method of identification. 

If you need reassurance that you're in the zone you've indentified, one of our staff members will be able to assist you with that.
