Single-Family Homes

A single family home may seem like it's just a house for a single family, but it's not. There's a list of property characteristics that need to be met in order for a property to be considered a single family home. Legally a single-family is, " a structure maintained and used as a single dwelling unit".

Some Characteristics:

• Ownership: One title to one individual
• Road: The home must have a path that allows access to a road and the house.
• Land: The property cannot be shared with another structure, the property is to be privately used by the owner
• Walls: A single-family home cannot share walls or a roof with another building
• Kitchen: Only one kitchen may be built. A second kitchen could signify that another person is living in the house which results in ordinance changes.
• Utilities: Utilities can't be shared with another property
