Where can we turn for assistance. We have Building Dept (BSA) permission to build residential and refusal of permission to build for commercial. Property is not in use due to this conflict. We now plan to build residential, but who can we ask for a reclassification (after 3 refusals) to residential and re-evaluation of several years' tax assessments based on the incorrect commercial classification ?

Every city has specific requirements on what can and can't be done. You likely will have to find a local attorney who knows the law of the city

No one can know what the record is in the case because online we cannot find out any details. You need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
