What Zone Am I In and Does It Really Matter?
What Zone Am I In and Does It Really Matter? Yes! it matters.
As a potential Home Owner or a builder of any kind it is important to know what zone you are in. As a Home Buyer it's nice to know if the serene little street you looking at could soon be a busy thoroughfarethat might be a danger to your children. It's something you need to check if you are thinking about renting out that old apartment in the basement. You may even find that you may not be able to put up a privacy fence on your own property if zoning prohibits it.
I am often surprised when working with developers that they have not a clue what the zoning codes mean.
So how do you find out? The best way NOT to find out is just go ahead and do your thing and see if the City tells you to tare it down.
The City of Minot has a great web site that will tell you anything you want to know about City codes and all of City business. Problem is navagating it. You can check out my direct link here or you can go to The Minot City Home Page, put the curser on City Government then move the curser to Planning then click on Documents then click on Zonning Ordinance. It's so easy!
