A zoning compliance letter is a letter by the Zoning Administrator or agent which provides the applicable zoning of a lot, including: any approved proffered conditions, development conditions, or other zoning approvals; whether any existing development on a lot is in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance; and whether there are any pending zoning applications or zoning violations on a lot. These letters are often requested by a seller, contract purchaser, lender, Department of Motor Vehicles, or Virginia Department of Housing to obtain written verification that the property complies with zoning regulations prior to its transfer or issuance of licenses.
