You can use municode.com and look up almost anything in regards to zoning. It is an online library of codes etc. that Charlotte has particpated in for years.
If you ever have an issue you can use the Charlotte.gov 311 online submission forms. Enter the issue or suspected violation and it will go to either code enforcement or zoning to address. They will need location and suspected violation. You can even avoid entering your name if you wish. If it is a entry that requires a name just put Neighborhood name or something and it will go through the system. If you wish to use your contact info the inspector will probably follow back up with you. Any thing you enter is public record so that is the reason I am giving options for entering possible issues. |

Thank you very much for this information. I will definitely complete a 311 complaint! BTW, for anyone who has deer eating their hosta or whatever, try saving your vacumn waste which has human hair and animal hair if you have pets, and place it around the plant. I have deer in my back and front yard almost daily and I have probably fifty hostas, which is like candy to a deer, and they do not eat the hosta (unless I forget one plant). I refresh several times during the growing season and it causes no harm to the wildlife. |
