Help shape the Southold that we’ll pass to future generations.
August 7, 2025
Thank you to everyone who has been participating in this historic effort to update the Town’s zoning. We have received hundreds of comments on the proposed draft of the zoning update and are compiling all of them now.
Our next step is for the Town Board to review the comments and make revisions.
- A revised draft code and map will then be made public.
- There will be at least one public meeting to review the changes made.
- There will be public hearings on the revised draft, as well as an environmental review.
We are currently working on the timing for all of this and will keep you posted as we know more.

In addition to the maps available for review online (see link below in this post), we now have pdf versions of the proposed and existing zoning maps for each hamlet posted online. They can be downloaded for viewing on your computer, or they can also be printed.
These maps can be printed at any printing company that has a large format printer if you want them in a large size (e.g. Inkspot in Southold). They can also be printed on smaller printers, but the scale bars would not be accurate. The correct print size for scale accuracy is indicated in the file name (e.g. OrientZoningProposed36x48 means that it is 36” x 48” in size and printing at that size ensures the scale bars would be accurate).

Town of Southold Releases Proposed New Zoning Code
and Zoning Map for Public Review
April 23, 2025, the Town of Southold is pleased to announce the release of the proposed new Zoning Code and Zoning Map, marking the first comprehensive zoning update for Southold since 1989. This milestone reflects years of planning, public input, and collaboration to ensure that Southold’s zoning regulations both respect the history of the area and support a sustainable, vibrant future for the community.
The proposed zoning code aims to clarify regulations, address modern land use needs, and preserve the unique character of Southold. Community members are encouraged to review the draft documents, explore the interactive zoning map, and provide feedback online and/or in upcoming public forums. This is truly a draft and we want to work together with our community to make it right.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape how Southold grows and protects what makes it special,” said Town Supervisor Albert J. Krupski, Jr. “We invite everyone to be informed, get involved, and help guide this important process.”
Much work has been done to review and update the zoning in each Southold Hamlet including Fishers Island. Everyone may access the latest information on the Southold Zoning Advisory website [and below].
