Buying Land and New Construction >The Zoning Variance
When you are selecting land on which to build your new home, be certain to investigate the zoning for that particular area. You might fall in love with rural acreage that just happens to be zoned for agricultural or recreational purposes. Since zoning uses are not interchangeable, you would need to apply for a variance in order to build a single-family residential dwelling on the land. This can be a challenging process!
Getting approval to have the zoning changed on property requires that you first give public notice, and then request approval for a variance from the government agencies that supervise enforcement of the zoning plan. You might encounter resistance from neighbors or various local interest groups who oppose the zoning changes that would allow you to build your dream home. Your local planning department can tell you how a particular property is zoned and explain what you need to do to get a variance. Your real estate agent may be able to refer you to a local land use attorney who can guide you through the process.

Bonnie Fagoh Awarded Centurion **
Bonnie Fagoh of Tampa Coastal Homes at Century 21 Beggins in Apollo Beach Florida has been awarded Centurion level recognition for 2009***
In a year that experts have noted as a difficult one, Bonnie has quietly gone on with what she loves and that is helping families find fantastic opportunity in this coastal community and it shows! She had her best year yet in 2009. "What I have found in 2009 is that many people are very frustrated with the "foreclosure bargains" that they have considered, only to find after many aggravating months and much frustration with the lenders that it is just not worth the wait. They miss out on some great buys waiting on short sale approval, or are outbid on a bank owned property. Of course, these distressed properties are "as is", in need of repair and neglected so they may not be the "best deal". I have helped families buy brand new homes with full warranties and close in 30 to 45 days. (Many short sales take 4 to 6 months or more and can "fall apart" right at closing). Some big national builders need to keep the scaled down workforce busy even if that means selling at a loss (under replacement cost). Several builders have bought lots at a drastically discounted price from other builders, so now thay can offer a buyer a new home at a very attractive price." "The hassle of liens and second mortgages etc... does not exist with these brand new bargains." Of course all the normal due diligence has to be performed. For example, what is the history of the neighborhood? Many of these factors cannot be determined from photos or a written description... No, in today's market as competitive as it is it pays to go with a pro that is very knowledgeable about the local area. You need to know that a realtor is serious about the profession. " I have lived in my area over 20 years and in Tampa Bay for over 44 years so the trends to me are clear, says Bonnie. Ask how was your 2009?"
