ZONING COMPLIANCE & USE ANALYSIS REPORTS

WHAT IS A ZONING COMPLIANCE REPORT?

A Zoning Compliance Report is a comprehensive analysis designed to meet the requirements of major lenders and financial institutions. This report examines local zoning ordinances and evaluates the existing on-site conditions of the property to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Our report provides critical information for lender approval and supports ALTA Zoning Endorsements 3.1-06 and 3.2-06 (Zoning – Completed Structure and Land Under Development). It includes:

  • Written verification from the local zoning department or agency confirming the zoning classification.

  • A thorough analysis of the zoning ordinance, addressing compliance with use, setback, height, area, density, and parking regulations.

To enhance the verification process, we also:

  • Submit public records requests to the local municipality for documents such as:

    • Special use permits

    • Variances or deviations

    • Special exceptions

    • Certificates of occupancy

    • Approved site plans

    • Records of building or zoning code violations

WHAT DOES A ZONING REPORT DETERMINE?

A Zoning Compliance Report answers essential questions about your property, including:

  • Zoning district classification: What zoning district is the property located within?

  • Permitted use: Is the current use of the property allowed in the zoning district?

  • Compliance with regulations: Are the improvements in line with setbacks, height, area, density, and parking requirements?

  • Zoning issues: Are there any special permits, zoning relief, or open zoning violations impacting the property?
