What counts here

A parcel is counted when two public records agree: its zoning district permits more than one home, and the assessor records it as a single-family house or vacant land. That gap is what makes it worth a look to a builder or an agent. A district is read as multi-family from what is actually built in it, town by town, because the same zone code means different things in different towns.

These parcels are not listed for sale, and this is not a listing service: whether an owner would sell is a question for the owner. The owner, address, lot size, assessed value and sale history behind each count are in the search, and the town's own regulations remain the authority on what may be built.
