Subdivide Lot? Is it possible?

Tom

I am considering buying a home with a large lot in RWC. I want to find out if the lot can be split in half, with the intention of building a second home on the lot. How can I find out if this is possible? The zoning code of the property is "RH". Thanks.

Follow David's advice exactly... especially the "Don't ask your agent, a friend, or a contractor. Find this out for yourself."

PS you could always take one of them with you to help ask the right questions, but be there.

I'm sorry, I forgot to add that the RH is for residential home.

Hi Tom, the best way to go about this is to go down to the planning dept and check for yourself. Don't ask your agent, a friend, or a contractor.
Find this out for yourself. This is the kind of thing you don't want to be a 3rd party conversation because something alwasy gets lost in the translation. If they planning dept says yes, write down the name of the person you spoke with.

Good luck,
