"Let's say you have a standard order to appraise a property with a house on it and 15 acres. no survey is provided and the zoning indicates that the minimum lot size is 5 acres. subject is under a single parcel id number.

How do you handle it? Do you call the zoning department and let them make the determination whether it could be subdivided?"

Good God, I would never let a zoning department make any determination for me.

The primry reason is that if you called 5 different zoning agents, you would have 5 different answers and there would still be a 6th answer. Anybody that has ever had dealings with zoning department knows what I mean.

Whenever the question has come up, my question is what was requested to be appraised and what is the purpose of the appraisal. For the most part, I don't do speculation appraisals.
