What changes for your work

The same public record, read from where you stand. Every example below is a real enacted item from the corpus. Enacted shows what changed and who decides — how it applies to your job or a parcel is a question for the office named on the item.
A ZIP resolves to the jurisdictions it overlaps (often more than one). You follow jurisdictions, not ZIPs.
