[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 adults 2 kids.  You are allowed to have family members live with you. What if the other set of in-laws want to live there also?   Aunts and uncles. It’s their house. They can have whomever they want living with the.  There are many multigenerational homes now.

I do agree that it is way ugly. And the architect sucks. [/quote]

That is true in NOVA not everywhere. My second home is in an incorporated town with Strict zoning laws all geared at Blocking Grouper Homes. It defines family as owner(s) of house plus their kids. Uncles/Aunts/Siblings/Inlaws/My Parents just cant move in. It is single family housing only.

If I wanted their is a application to allow a parent to live with you if approved. But no second kitchen, no locked doors, no bedrooms in basement. And approval is annual. Neighbors can complain at zoning hearing. Yes you need to go in person to get zoning approval.

Each house only gets a parking pass one car on street. Only official residents of house can get a parks pass. Also strict rules on parties. You need permits for street parking. And only a set amount per year. And strict rules on noise. For instance no home repair with power tools on weekends, no lawnmowing with a power mower on weekends in summer.

You buy in an incorporated town you should abide by the rules. I rented my house out in that town and as such it is illegal for me to park in that town, or go to a park in that town even though I own. Single family means single family.

I once was going to rent it in summer as buy beach and a lady shows up to apply. I tell her single family only. She goes well it will be me and my sister, my Mom to rent for summer for beach. Her jaw fell when I said it is SINGLE FAMILY. Your sister and Mom are not your family they wont be allowed on beach or to park car. That would be a grouper house not allowed under town rules. She moved on. [/quote]
