Is there a way to find out if the lot next door has plans to build, or if there are restrictions?

We are looking at a property that has a large lot next door. The owners of that lot have a small house far away, out of view of the property we are considering. But we are concerned that in the future they may sell off part of their acreage and that a new house will go up right next door, which would be a deal breaker for us. We were told that because the area is the Watershed for NYC, there are many government restrictions on building new homes. Is there a way to find out if those owners have plans to sell/build, or to find out the details of these government restrictions? Thanks!

Hi, you can find out about restrictions by going to city/town hall. Talk with the building department and conservation commission.

As to future plans by the current owner, again, town/city hall will have any plans that have been filed. If nothing is on file, you can ask the owner, but owners can change their mind. I would expect that if the lot is buildable, that someday that will happen; and not to be pessimistic, but my experience (15 years on a planning board) is that the land owner will put up the worst possible senario!

Good luck.
