In Alabama, the regulation of land use primarily falls under the jurisdiction of local governments, including municipalities and counties. These local governments establish and enforce zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, and comprehensive land use plans that govern how land can be used and developed within their jurisdictions. Additionally, state agencies may play a role in regulating certain aspects of land use, such as environmental protection and natural resource management. However, the authority to regulate land use is predominantly delegated to local governments, allowing them to tailor regulations to the unique needs and characteristics of their communities.
