Municipal or local government laws that dictate how real property can and cannot be used in certain areas. Zoning laws limit commercial use of land in order to prevent oil, manufacturing or other types of businesses from building in residential neighborhoods. However, these laws can be modified or suspended if construction of the property will serve to help the community advance economically.All areas of land in Roanoke County have a zoning use restriction. This zoning polygon feature was created separately from our Parcel feature because some parcels have more than one zoning designation. The outside boundary of our zoning features match the outside boundary of our Parcel feature. This feature designates one of the the zoning areas as "Primary" to assign a zoning feature to our Assess Pro Real Estate system.It should also be noted that there are some areas of land inside the boundaries of Roanoke County that are actually located and taxed in adjacent jurisdictions. These areas have a psuedo parcelid and are included in the zoning feature. This polygon feature is part of a Editing topology along with or parcel feature and our Administration feature. This prevents self-intersection and gaps, while ensuring complete coverage amongst the participating features |
