Could your lot be worth more?
A large yard, side lot, or oversized parcel may be worth more once it is divided into separate legal lots.
What could a little over a quarter acre become?
Who sets side setbacks?
Spokane does. State law requires more housing capacity but lets cities set objective setback, clearing, and tree-retention rules.
Narrow lots: 40 feet wide or less3 feet from each interior side
Wider lots: more than 40 feet wide5 feet from each interior side
What still gets decided?
State law may require more housing capacity. Spokane still sets rules for emergency access, infrastructure, parking, incentives, and how results are measured.
