Legal status

On a recent consulting call, I was speaking with a member of this group about an issue he ran into with the county. The county told him that the mobile home located on the property was considered an unapproved (illegal) structure/land use. When it comes to the legal status associated with any particular structure or land use, there are primarily three types of classifications that apply; legal land use; legal non-conforming land use; and unapproved (illegal) land use. In this case I was able to help them identify and locate the proper documentation to have the classification changed to legal non-conforming which helped him retain much of the anticipated value in the property.

Have any of you run across this issue before? If so, how did it work out?
