Here it Comes… 2025!

If you are thinking about a land purchase, we know you may have questions, and we’ve got answers! Let’s look at the important topic of “zoning”.

County or City governments assign zoning categories to specific areas to manage how land and properties can be used by their owners or residents. All land is zoned.

Depending on where a lot is located, it will be zoned for a type of use such as residential, commercial, industrial, or agricultural.

In most New Mexico counties, zoning categories are given short abbreviations such as R-1 (Single Family Residential), T-Z (Transitional), RR (Rural Residential), or PD (Planned Development).

Since zoning or zoning explanation is not usually included in the Purchase Agreement or on the deed to a piece of property, a buyer would want to make sure to understand what is allowed with a particular type of zoning before purchasing land.

To learn more about zoning in an area where we have land for sale, consider visiting one of the following websites: City of Rio Rancho Planning and Zoning, Sandoval County Planning and Zoning, Torrance County Planning and Zoning, Town of Edgewood Planning and Zoning, or Valencing County Planning and Zoning.
