Many people buy homes, partly or wholly, on the basis of the view that they afford of the surrounding landscape. If you are about to make a purchase of property with a “million-dollar view,”you might want to take steps to assure yourself that this important feature will be preserved. With this in mind, have your agent ask the present owner or the city zoning and planning office if the property is protected by a view ordinance. In addition, your agent can find out if neighbors are subject to restrictions that would protect your view. If the property is in a planned unit development, check whether a homeowners’ association actively enforces restrictions. Lastly, check local zoning laws for building restrictions.
