I inquired about a vacant lot in Arrowhead Lakes.

Asked by Bradley, • Tue Jun 2, 2009

This is a wonderful community and I am interested in building a new home for when I retire. .The listing agent agreed to meet with me to see the lot, but has since told me that a building moratorium was enacted in Arrowhead Lakes last week. I am told that permits are on hold for at least a year.

May I ask if someone could elaborate on the reason for this moratorium? I was told that a property owner who took shortcuts in the permit process is responsible. In our ongoing conversation the agent said the permits will take “at least a year, if ever”. Is it possible the moratorium will last for more than a year? Is there any chance the moratorium could go on indefinitely- or was this an excited utterance from the realtor? What about the property owners who need to sell their property now? Should I forget the whole idea?

Since the community is bisected by two Monroe County townships, does the moratorium cover both townships?

Thanks for the expertise.
