Juneau is a unified city-borough government, the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ), so a single jurisdiction handles zoning boroughwide. Land use is governed by Title 49 (Land Use) of the CBJ Code, administered by the Community Development Department. The department's Planning & Zoning line is 907.586.0753 and its office is at 230 South Franklin Street, 4th Floor, Juneau, AK 99801.

Zoning districts are established in Chapter 49.25 of the CBJ Land Use Code (Title 49). Residential districts use a 'D' density prefix, including D1, D3, D5, D10, D15, and D18, ranging from lower-density single-family and single-family/duplex zones up to higher-density multifamily zones. Commercial and mixed-use districts are also defined in Chapter 49.25. The official zoning map of the City and Borough of Juneau is the controlling reference for how any specific parcel is zoned.

The Planning Commission is CBJ's land use body, hearing matters such as rezonings, subdivisions, variances, planned unit developments, special use districts, and change-of-use applications under Title 49. It meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the Assembly Chambers at City Hall, at 6:00 p.m. from October through April and 7:00 p.m. from May through September, unless otherwise noticed.

The 2013 Comprehensive Plan of the City and Borough of Juneau is the long-range blueprint guiding growth and development, with policies and implementing actions organized across its chapters. It directs most commercial and industrial land into the Urban Service Area to concentrate public services and avoid intrusion into environmentally sensitive or resource-rich rural areas. The plan is maintained by the Community Development Department and informs zoning and land use decisions.

The Community Development Department handles building permits, general engineering permits, and land use applications, along with floodplain permits, sign permits, and wireless communication facility permits under Title 49. Engineering permits cover site and utility work such as grading, driveway, right-of-way, and water and sewer service permits. Applications can be submitted through CBJ's online self-service permit portal; the department's Permit Center line is 907.586.0770.
