Zoning Information
Posted by PRO Tue, 16 Jan 2007 19:31:00 GMT
It is important to validate zoning information so that you can accurately advise your customer on specific legal requirements affecting the use of the property. As an example, the zoning information will indicate whether or not the property is in a residential planned development governed by a required homeowner’s association and alert you to research the HOA rules and regulations. Many HOAs have restrictive regulations that could potentially impact your customer’s lifestyle or how they intend to use the property.
