Topic 12. Zoning

March 28, 2019

This Chapter has been revised in its entirety.

a. Zoning Compliance

The property must comply with all applicable zoning ordinances.

b. Legal, Non-Conforming Use

If the property does not comply with current zoning ordinances, but is accepted by the local authority, the appraiser must describe the property as "Legal Non-Conforming" and comment on the property’s marketability and any adverse effect this classification may have on value. The appraiser must state whether or not the dwelling may be legally rebuilt if destroyed.
