Carrollton, Texas 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. Carrollton's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.

LI Light Industrial District | - | 4,316.2 ac | Standards & uses → |
SF-7/14 Single Family Residential District | - | 3,500.9 ac | Standards & uses → |

Carrollton regulates land through 58 zoning districts, and the single family codes carry two numbers separated by a slash.
Districts appear as SF-5/12, SF-6.5/12, SF-7/14, SF-7/16, SF-8.4/16, SF-10/18 and SF-12/20. The first figure is the lot size premise and the second a further standard, so SF-7/14 and SF-7/16 are separate districts sharing a lot size. Reading only the first number would conflate them.
SF-7/14 is the largest residential district at roughly 3,501 acres.
The housing form districts are named directly: a Single Family Patio Home district at roughly 613 acres, a Single Family Townhouse district at about 486, and a combined patio home and townhouse district at roughly 213. Combining two forms in one district is unusual and gives the city flexibility on transitional sites.
An Interim Holding District covers roughly 312 acres, holding land pending permanent designation.
A Freeway District covers roughly 985 acres and a Corporate Commercial District about 344.
Light Industrial is the largest classification at roughly 4,316 acres, and multifamily runs at 15 and 18 covering about 1,075 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
