How important is zoning when considering a property for purchase?
Before you bought your property, you should have taken the time to research and understand the effects of zoning or possible rezoning on your property’s use. A surprising number of real estate buyers, however, neglect this important step. Even if you did understand the zoning of the property before you bought, the mood of your local planning department, which interprets zoning laws and approves building projects, may have changed in the meantime.
