Home Buying in Charlotte>Question Details

Matt Walters, Other/Just Looking in

Who would you contact @ the city to discuss an easment (eg underground sewer) at the rear of the property -?

Asked by Matt Walters, Wed Dec 22, 2010

Would like to discuss with someone at the city what it is exactly, where their access points are, how often they access it, if they would ever have to disrupt the property I am interested in.

I agree with Matthew. It is one of the benefits to being in the Charlotte/Meck system that we can dial 311 for instant connection with all things city government related. While you are at it, I encourage you to see what the long term plans are for the area surrounding your subject property. The planning and zoning commission can show you where future roads, sidewalks, and expansions are scheduled over the course of the immediate future and the long term plans, as well. It makes a huge difference to a property's value when you learn that a major roadway is planned to come nearby or expanded commercial interests. It can be a blessing or a curse. You need the help of your buyer agent to counsel you about the impact of such improvements or changes.

Merry Christmas to all!

I would start with the town zoning and building department.

Call the city office review your question(s) they will direct to correct party. Many times with easement city rarely ever use. HOWEVER you have valid concern(s) determine if you prefer to purchase any home.

Charlotte Planning/Zoning ordinances would be the place to start.

Matt, the nice thing about Charlotte is you just have to dial 311 to get the city and they can direct you to exactly the right person with whom you should speak. Or,if you are buying a home, your buyers agent should be able to assist you with this.

Take care,

You should start with your local/county Land Records and Zoning and Planning departments. The prior will get you the precise access points, and the latter will be able to facilitate the discussion that you desire. They'll let you know if you'd need to speak with anyone else.
