Frequently Asked Questions
Typical cost?
Simple residential rezone: $25-75k. Commercial rezone: $100-350k. Large PD/PUD: $500k-1.5M. Major metro mixed-use: $1-3M. Complexity, site size, community opposition, and required studies drive costs higher.
Line items?
Filing fees (2-5% of total). Legal (15-25%). Engineering (20-30%). Traffic study (5-15%). Environmental (10-20%). Community outreach (5-15%). Appeals reserve (10-20%). Rule of thumb: plan 1% of post-rezone value in rezoning cost.
Risks?
Denial (10-30% of applications). Appeal by neighbors. Approval with conditions requiring re-design. Delays from staff turnover or political shift. Reserve 20-30% contingency on rezoning budget; it almost always costs more than initial estimate.
How often should I rerun this?
Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
