Property Zoning
I hear more and more stories of good people buying a home with property and assuming that horses can be kept on it. One couple I read about, bought their dream home with lots of open land. They were so excited that they were finally going to get their 12 year old daughter the horse she had asked for every Christmas since she was 3! They found the perfect Paso Fino horse and gave her the surprise of her life!
Three weeks later, code enforcement knocked on the door to let them know that they had to move “Patches” immediately, that he was not allowed to be kept there. As you can imagine it was heart breaking news.
When looking for property remember; just because the place you have in mind looks like it is out in the country doesn’t mean that it is zoned for horses or other livestock. If you are in the market for horse property, your Realtor can supply you with zoning information. If you are in the Orlando area you can check with the City of Orlando zoning and planning or Orange County Zoning.
Some More Tips:
- Do your research. When buying direct from the home-owner, be aware that some information might not be divulged.
- Find out how many horses can be kept on your Orlando property.
- Use a qualified Realtor whom specializes in property zoned for horses.
