The Zoning Division approves building permits and also inspects new construction for compliance with the City's zoning regulations. In addition to administering zoning regulations, the Zoning Division prepares amendments and new zoning regulations. The City of North Myrtle Beach adopted its first zoning ordinance and map in May 1971. Major revisions to the ordinance occurred in 1976 and 1988. A new digitized map was adopted in 1991. Since the early 1980's the City has experienced steady population growth and development. The zoning ordinance has been amended may times with regulations becoming more sophisticated in an attempt to mitigate problems caused by growth. It is recommend that anyone considering development call the zoning official and discuss your project before spending money on the investment.
