All municipal zoning regulations are located under Title 17 and Title 18 of the Gypsum Municipal Code. 

Properties within the Town limits are designated with zoning categories that determine the uses that will be allowed to take place on the property. Please verify the zoning of your property with the Zoning Map. If you are in a Planned Unit Development (PUD), specific subdivision regulations may apply. Please contact us for further information.
