Zoning Laws >The Zoning Variance

When you are selecting land on which to build your new home, be certain to investigate the zoning for that particular area. You might fall in love with rural acreage that just happens to be zoned for agricultural or recreational purposes. Since zoning uses are not interchangeable, you would need to apply for a variance in order to build a single-family residential dwelling on the land. This can be a challenging process!

Getting approval to have the zoning changed on property requires that you first give public notice, and then request approval for a variance from the government agencies that supervise enforcement of the zoning plan. You might encounter resistance from neighbors or various local interest groups who oppose the zoning changes that would allow you to build your dream home.

Your local planning department can tell you how a particular property is zoned and explain what you need to do to get a variance. Your real estate agent may be able to refer you to a local land use attorney who can guide you through the process.

Hilary Jo Anderson joined her mom Cary Hofstad in February 2005 with her Realtor salesperson license. Cary Jo’s Team now consists of Cary Hofstad who is a broker and Listing's Specialist and Hilary Jo Anderson who is a Buyer’s Specialist. Another member of the family that is involved in real estate is Dave Hofstad, Hilary’s dad and Cary’s husband. Dave owns and operates Hilzac, Corp. which currently is developing nearly 100 lots called Stratford Village south of Kalispell. Dave brings to the family more than 25 years of building experience and an enormous amount of new, affordable housing for Flathead Valley residents. With great role models in the industry like these, Hilary is enthusiastic to develop her career as a successful Realtor.
Hilary graduated from Montana State University in 2005 with a degree in Consumer Science and specific training in Human Development. Her extensive background in consumer economics and family finance at Montana State and multiple years as a customer service specialist will help her succeed as a Buyer’s Agent and Client Care Manager. One of Hilary’s main desires is to focus on the first-time home-buyer market, ensuring that consumers have a wealth of knowledge regarding their real estate transaction and that consumer interests are always kept as the number one priority.
Originally from the Seattle area, Hilary has always loved outdoor experiences as a young girl and continued to pursue outdoor activities when her family moved to Kalispell in 1995. She frequents the outdoors, doing anything that allows her time outside including skiing, biking, camping, hiking and anything else under the big sky. She recently married a great guy in October 2006 whose name is Paul Anderson. Paul just completed his Electricians Apprenticeship and is currently working on large commercial projects in Kalispell. Hilary also has hobbies in photography, quilting and hopes to be a decent cook someday. Give Hilary a call if you know of anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. She has a flexible schedule and is happy to make time for anyone!
