Development Code

The current version of the Henderson Development Code was adopted on July 3, 2001.  It is provided online in three formats: a printable PDF format, the Visual Interactive Code (VIC) version, and as Title 19 of the Henderson Municipal Code.  The Development Code can also be purchased in hard copy from the Community Development Department located on the first floor in City Hall.

Development Code
The online Development Code is available in PDF format and always includes the most recent updates to the Code.  This version is offered to the user because of the printer-friendly feature.  You may also download a zip file of the entire  Development Code PDF format (approx. 10.6 MB).

Development Code Updates
As zoning ordinance amendments are adopted by City Council, they are incorporated into the Development Code and made available via the Development Code Updates.  The updates include an insertion guide giving instructions for pages to be removed and inserted into the Online Development Code, PDF format.  Once the code has been printed, the periodic updates to the Code may be placed into the original printed Code.
