Why do lenders verify zoning for a property?
Zoning determines how a property can legally be used. Freddie Mac requires lenders to confirm that the property’s zoning supports residential use and does not conflict with the intended occupancy. This ensures the home meets eligibility standards and avoids issues related to non‑residential zoning restrictions.
