What makes a community a PUD

[KHS445]

Here is a copy of the definition of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) from my local Zoning Ordinance. It does a better job than I did of explaining things.

"PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT: A special land use pursuant to Section 1870 intended to accommodate developments with mixed or varied uses, innovative design features and/or sites with unusual topography or unique settings."

A HOA, Condominium, or any other type of association is not required.

I know there are different definitions out there and most likely vary by either Municipality and/or State. I would check local zoning and see what it says about PUD's and how it defines them. I would also contact the local zoning official and ask them if a PUD requires a HOA, Condominium or some other type of association to be approved. Keep in mind chances are good most of the people kicking this type of thing back to you are not well versed in local ordinances and definitions.

When I was younger and dumber, I would make the call without looking at the Title report.
I had to convert the info from one form to another.
If client specifically ask you to do an appraisal on certain form and later they ask for changed form, you can ask for additional fee. Be smarter.

All that has changed is you are no longer young.

I am smarter. I am not sure what online access is like in your area. But in 5 minutes or less. I can pull up the PUD or condo declaration, plat and deed.

Pretty similar to PUD zoning in most of my area. It is just a planned development.

So how far do you take that scenario?

First you need to figure out on Title what subject is. Once you know, you can regurgitate the definition as any data collector can do.
Hard part and most important is figuring form of ownership. That's what makes a real appraiser knows what to do.

Lets first define what a PUD is:

What Is A Planned Unit Development (PUD)?

A planned unit development, or PUD, is a community of single-family homes, and sometimes condos or townhomes, where every homeowner belongs to a homeowners association (HOA).

If you’re shopping for a home, you might need to know what a PUD is and how it works because it could affect you during the mortgage qualification process, as well as during the time you live in the home.

I'm doing an appraisal on property that's located on a scattered lot. The underwriter insists it's located in a PUD. There's no HOA dues, no HOA, no declaration of PUD , there are no common amenities, no community restrictions. I don't considered this a PUD. I've done appraisals in this community for 15 years and have never had this issue. What makes a community a PUD?

Our you sure? I live in what use to be a PUD by todays standards. We no longer pay anything into an HOA because it was formed a long time ago so that we could have Street Lights installed. We were outside of the City. So we installed the lamp Post.

The City annexed us and took over the Street Light Maintenance and electrical cost. We(each owner) as a Neighborhood the dissolved the HOA.
