The zoning office suggests reviewing the zoning ordinance, but the course didn’t cover zoning assumptions in detail.
What’s the best way to verify zoning suitability and double-check zoning information?

2. Zoning Ordinance Exceptions

Some properties in the target zone don’t meet the minimum lot area or width size requirements under the zoning ordinance, yet houses exist on smaller-sized neighbor lots.

How could these properties get approval for development?

3. Reliability of Regrid Zoning Information

Is the zoning data provided by Regrid accurate and up-to-date for development planning?
What are the best methods to independently verify zoning and land use data to ensure compliance with local regulations?

4. Land Use Codes and Building Feasibility

Example 1: Property Land Use Codes

Activity Code: 4000 (Social, institutional, or infrastructure-related)
Function Code: 1000 (Residence or accommodation)
Ownership Code: 4200 (State government)
Example: Regrid Property Example 1

Example 2: Zoning Details

Zoning Code: T3
Zoning Description: Sub Urban Zone
Zoning Type: Residential
Zoning Subtype: Single Family
Ownership Code: 1500 (Businesses and commercial entities)
Example: Regrid Property Example 2

Based on these land use and zoning codes, can I build a house on either of these parcels?

Make sure you check any HOA or development restrictions. Had a client who thought he had a deal of a lifetime. He checked everything but the HOA/development restrictions. Long story short, he ended up buying a worthless piece of land.

Not saying this is always the case. But properties typically end up in the repository list for a reason. Finding a deal on that list is challenging.

Hi Arif, I can't help you, because Alabama law very different from Pennsylvania. But, nice to hear from you. I went to Owen J. Roberts High School. Allentown was one of our football rivals. We lived in the country, across the street from Welkinweir.

Thank you Denise. Surely you had nice time in PA.

Hi
I have found lien-free, profitable, and buildable parcels of land from OTC (Over-the-Counter) lists in Pennsylvania after two months of thorough research. I conducted title searches to confirm there are no liens and double-checked with the county to ensure there are no outstanding debts. Additionally, I verified that the parcels are buildable and analyzed competitive market prices, which suggest high profit margins.

However, as this is my first time pursuing such an investment, I am uncertain about how quickly these properties can be sold after purchase. To avoid any missteps, I am seeking an experienced partner to help double-check my findings and potentially invest together. Thank you!
