Tip of the day!

There are many regulations that restrict the use of a property. As we know, usability impacts marketability. The more usable a property is, the broader your buyer base. Most of you are aware of zoning restrictions, HOA restrictions and deed restrictions. However, were you aware that there can be restrictions that are recorded on the face of the subdivision map itself that can restrict the use of a property? Those restrictions may prohibit the construction of a home or limit the use of the parcel to a specific land use. If your parcel is part of a platted subdivision it may be wise to contact the County to view a copy of the recorded subdivision map. I've seen lots in subdivisions that look like they can be built on but in the end were highly constrained.
