Deeding of single lots to be studied by panel

The Carroll County Zoning Ordinance Oversight Committee will investigate whether landowners should be allowed to deed real estate to family members or farm employees.

Under current zoning law, landowners may build a second home on their property for a relative or a farm employee, but they are not allowed to subdivide the lot. Therefore, the owner of the second home cannot receive title to the property.

In response to requests by several landowners to change the law, the County Commissioners yesterday referred the question to the seven-member committee for a recommendation.
