A few weeks back I ran a post about the use of the word "McMansion" and how it was not a word I had ever heard a Real Estate Professional use in their daily business.Its mostly a negative term. Now one of our local municipalities is using this made up word to restrict the rights of property owners who wish to expand and improve THEIR OWN HOME !! This is wrongful use of unnecessary laws that infringe on one of our most basic rights to own and improve our property. Below is a reprint on the basics of this new ordinance as reportes by our Mercer County Association of Realtors.
Lawrence Township Passes Ordinance Aimed at Limiting McMansions | |
On Tuesday, March 6, the Lawrence Township Council passed an ordinance limiting the size of new homes and additions to existing houses. The goal of the ordinance is to prevent the building or renovating of homes that overwhelm the neighborhood in size-an issue that has become of great concern in many older communities in Mercer County. |
More abuse of power from a local government reducing the rights of the property owner who pays the taxes !!
