Zoning
  All States      
I want to change or use my land in a way not allowed by the local zoning ordinance. What are my alternatives?

Zoning ordinances will tell you what you can do with your property. Should the planned improvement or change you have in mind be considered a violation of the ordinance, consider these options:

(1) Modify your proposal to fit the zoning regulations of the land;

(2) Look for other land subject to zoning laws that permit your proposed use;

(3) Request that your land be rezoned which allows your proposed use; or

(4) Apply for a variance, conditional use, or nonconforming use permit.
