You would need to go to the County Registrar of the property you are inquiring about, provide them with identification, and then you can search the records. First you should no the A.P.N. (Assessors Parcel Number.) Many counties have websites and the process for searching for information is likely on their site.\n\nIf you don't have a specific property in mind, perhaps you are looking to find properties in distress?, that would involve a different process.

Call the county. They should have a Development Services department with zoning information. This could be the best way because you can ask question regarding restrictions such as set backs, frontage, density, etc. Some counties even have it on line or you can request zoning information by e-mail.
