Zoning in the City of Mesa is governed by the Mesa Zoning Ordinance, which is Title 11 of the Mesa City Code (Code of Ordinances). Title 11 covers introductory provisions, overlay zones, development regulations, the sign ordinance, form-based code, administration, and land use classifications and definitions. The code is administered by the city's Development Services / Planning department, and the full text is published in the Municode Library.

Rezoning requests are heard by the Planning and Zoning Board, a seven-member board of city residents that conducts public hearings and makes recommendations to the City Council on changes in zoning and on required site plans; the City Council makes the final decision. Certain minor requests instead go before a Planning Hearing Officer, who handles minor rezoning requests, minor changes to site plans, and preliminary plat requests that comply with the adopted Planning Hearing Officer guidelines.

Variances are decided by Mesa's Board of Adjustment, which is appointed by the Mayor and City Council and holds public hearings on a monthly basis. The Board hears and decides Variances, Special Use Permits, Development Incentive Permits, Substantial Conformance Improvement Permits, and Appeals. A property owner may apply for a variance to seek relief from the zoning regulations when a hardship exists. An appeal of a Board of Adjustment decision must be made to Superior Court in accordance with A.R.S. section 9-462.06.K.

Mesa's Zoning Ordinance (Title 11) establishes a range of zoning districts, including residential, commercial, mixed-use, and industrial districts, along with overlay zones and a form-based code.

The specific district classifications and their standards are set out in the land use classifications and development regulations articles of Title 11, and district boundaries can be viewed through the City of Mesa's GIS and Data Hub zoning resources.
