Abstract: Excerpt from the report: This publication summarizes the main rural zoning powers now conferred on counties, on towns and townships, and on miscellaneous local governments by rural-zoning enabling statutes of the 38 States that have enacted such laws. Further, it shows the manner and the extent to which the powers granted in the enabling laws were exercised in slightly more than 40 percent of the 173 county rural-zoning ordinances in effect when the study was made. Town and township zoning ordinances were not examined; and zoning in incorporated cities, towns, and villages is not included. Data on rural-zoning enabling laws are for the period ending January 1951, and those relating to county zoning ordinances are for the period ending May 1949.
