zoning violations

Illegal property modifications

Zoning violations occur when property use or construction fails to comply with local land-use regulations.

These laws divide areas into residential, commercial, industrial, and other zones, restricting what can be built or operated where.

Common violations include running a business from a residentially zoned home, building too close to property lines, or exceeding height limits: The city cited them for zoning violations after neighbors complained about the auto repair shop in their garage.
