FAQs
-
Communities use set rules, called zoning ordinances, to regulate which properties can be used as residences, which properties can be used as businesses, which properties can be used for agricultural purposes, etc. A zoning variance is an approved deviation from these rules.
If you are a property owner and want to use your land or building for purposes other than those it is zoned for, you will need to file an application with your local board of adjustment, county commission, or a similar entity (this will depend on your city or county and an attorney can help you determine which agency is appropriate). A notice will need to be sent to your neighbors to let them know you are trying to get a zoning variance, and then a public hearing will be held.

A real estate transaction is a process where a seller offers a land for sale and a buyer agrees to purchase it. At a very basic level, the process involves a number of tasks and activities before closing can occur and the property is officially transferred to the buyer. Many actors are involved in a real estate transaction and could include:
A real estate attorney, real estate broker, real estate agent, seller, buyer, mortgage lender, home inspector, or title company.

A deed is a legal document that is used to transfer property from one person (grantor) to another person (grantee). They are typically used to transfer real estate as they are the proper way to transfer ownership rights in the property.
A deed to real estate must meet certain requirements to be considered valid. While the exact requirements vary between jurisdictions, they must be written and notarized. Deeds also need to be recorded with the county clerk in the county in which the real estate is located. Each county will have an office for this purpose, and it may be called the Register of Deeds, Recorder of Deeds, or something similar. Recording the deed is typically required as that is how ownership of a property is determined. A search of the public records will reveal who owns a certain piece of property.
