Zoning in the City of Port Washington is governed by Chapter 485 of the municipal code, originally adopted by the Common Council on February 2, 1965 and amended since. The code establishes residential districts including R-1, RS-1 and RS-2 (single-family detached) and RM-1 (single- and two-family), commercial districts B-1 through B-4, and industrial districts I-1 and I-2. The official zoning map showing where each district applies is kept on file with the City.

Uses listed as permitted by conditional use grant in a given district may be allowed only after a petition is submitted to the Common Council. The Common Council approves or denies the conditional use upon recommendation of the Plan Commission, and conditions may be attached to the grant. This process is administered by the City's Department of Planning and Development.

Variances are decided by the Zoning Board of Appeals, a five-member board appointed by the Mayor under Wisconsin Statutes and confirmed by the governing body. The Board may authorize a variance from dimensional standards only where the applicant convincingly demonstrates a hardship due to special conditions unique to the property that is not self-created or based solely on economic gain, is not contrary to the public interest, and would not grant a use otherwise prohibited in the district. The Board also hears appeals of decisions made by the Zoning Administrator or other administrative officials.

The Plan Commission, working with the Department of Planning and Development, reviews the City's development actions including rezonings, planned developments, conditional uses, amendments to the zoning code, land divisions and subdivision plats, special exceptions, building and site plans, and sign approvals. The Plan Commission meets at City Hall, Council Chambers, 100 W. Grand Avenue. The Common Council, which makes final decisions on many land-use matters, meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
