Gilbert, Arizona Zoning Districts: What Do They Mean?
Zoning districts are areas regulated by specific laws that determine land use, building types, and development rules. Each district below shows its zone type. Gilbert's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.

|---|---|---|---|
SF-7 Single Family Residential | - | 8,054.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
SF-6 Single Family Residential | - | 6,329.5 ac | Standards & uses → |

Gilbert regulates land through 29 zoning districts, and its residential system is built on a numbered single-family series. Districts run SF-6, SF-7, SF-8, SF-10, SF-15, SF-35 and SF-43, with additional detached and attached single-family districts alongside them. SF-7 and SF-6 are the two largest districts in the town by area, which is a direct measure of how much of Gilbert was built as conventional suburban subdivision.
The numbering is the key to reading the map. The larger the number, the lower the intensity, so SF-43 sits at the estate end of the range and SF-6 at the compact end. Multifamily is split into low and medium density rather than a single category, and the town keeps separate districts for attached and detached single-family product.
The non-residential side is organised by scale. Commercial runs from neighborhood through community and shopping center to general and regional commercial, so a site's district reflects the size of the trade area it is meant to serve rather than the type of tenant. Light industrial covers a substantial area, with general industrial and a business park district alongside it, and a general office district completes the roster. Public facility and institutional land is the third largest district by area. Gilbert regulates building height, coverage, density, floor area ratio, lot size and width, pervious area, and front, side and rear setbacks. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
Gilbert zoning: frequently asked questions
What do the numbers in Gilbert's SF districts mean?
They distinguish intensity within the single-family series, which runs SF-6, SF-7, SF-8, SF-10, SF-15, SF-35 and SF-43. A higher number sits at the lower-intensity, estate end of the range. SF-7 and SF-6 are the two largest districts in Gilbert by land area.
Does Gilbert separate attached and detached housing?
Yes. Beyond the numbered series the town keeps a single-family residential detached district and a single-family residential attached district as separate classifications, so product type is addressed through the district rather than only through the standards.
How is multifamily zoned in Gilbert?
Through two districts rather than one: multifamily low density and multifamily medium density. Medium density covers the larger area of the two. There is no separate high-density multifamily district in the roster.
How are Gilbert's commercial districts organised?
By the scale of the trade area rather than by tenant type. The ladder runs neighborhood commercial, community commercial, shopping center, general commercial and regional commercial, with regional commercial covering the largest area of the group.
What industrial and employment districts does Gilbert have?
Light industrial, which covers a substantial area, plus general industrial, a business park district and a general office district. Public facility and institutional land is separate again and is the third largest district in the town by area.
