Planning & property rules
Community Development administers zoning, subdivision and land-development regulations, property maintenance, stormwater requirements, and building-code functions.
Focus on the property and total monthly cost.
- Verify the exact municipality, property taxes, utilities, HOA information, and school assignment for the property you are considering.
- For existing homes, review system age, improvements, permits, and inspection findings; for newer homes, compare builder incentives with total monthly cost.
- Use the mortgage calculator early so property tax and insurance estimates are part of your offer planning.
Make the home easy to understand and compare.
- Prepare a clear list of improvements and permit history for work completed on the property.
- Use the most relevant nearby comparable sales based on location, age, style, condition, and neighborhood.
- Highlight practical property features and improvements rather than relying only on the Hershey mailing address.
