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

RS-15 Single Family Residential | - | 8,084.1 ac | Standards & uses → |

Murfreesboro regulates land through 32 zoning districts, and the planned districts are split by intended use: Planned Residential at roughly 3,864 acres, Planned Unit at about 3,545, Planned Commercial at roughly 450 and Planned Industrial at about 144.
Together they cover close to eight thousand acres, so a substantial share of the city is governed by approved plans, and the split tells you a project's intended character before you read its plan.
The residential codes state lot size at 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 for single family and units per acre at 12 and 16 for multifamily. RS-15 is the largest district in the city at roughly 8,084 acres.
A Single Family Residential Attached Zero Lot Line district at roughly 490 acres names both the attachment and the lot line condition, which is more specific than most cities manage in a single district name.
A College And University district covers roughly 624 acres.
The commercial districts distinguish a Commercial Fringe District at roughly 511 acres from highway and local commercial. Naming a fringe commercial district identifies land at the edge of commercial areas as its own condition.
Heavy industrial covers roughly 2,467 acres and light industrial about 2,127. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
