Does Riley County notify surrounding property owners if someone has obtained, or is in the process of obtaining, a building permit?
State law requires that all property owners within 1000 feet of a rezoning, variance or conditional use request be notified of the public hearing on the matter. However, there is no such State or local requirement to notify adjacent property owners upon the issuance of a building permit. Prospective purchasers of land should always research the surrounding zoning of land to determine what sorts of uses may be permitted that may effect property values or enjoyment of the land to be purchased.
