Every property within the Town of Yadkinville's Planning & Zoning Jurisdiction is assigned a Zoning District. Zoning Districts exist to separate land activities that are not compatible. As an example, zoning prevents a prison from being built next to a day care, and keeps industrial manufacturing and elementary schools apart.
The Town of Yadkinville is divided into ten zoning districts.
