The different requirements. e.g. minimum lot size, landscaping, building height, setbacks, open space etc. have been negotiated via a Development Order or Development Agreement as part of the review process.

Can I operate a business from my home?
|
|
You can have a home office for a business at your home for certain occupations. You must be a licensed business or corporation, and there must be no activity that will change the residential character of the home, or create additional traffic, e.g. no customers coming to the home, no delivery trucks and no storage of materials. For further information call (407) 585-1415.

|
Do you have a survey on file of my property, if not, where can I get one?
|
|
We do not have property surveys on file. We have the section maps that are produced by the County Tax Assessor's office, and we have copies of the subdivision plats, which you are welcome to come in and look at. You will need to hire a surveyor to get a proper survey of your property. Usually, surveys are required as part of the mortgage package when homes are purchased.
