What action is required if an owner wants to build an accessory building that is not permitted under current zoning?

The owner must sell the property
The owner must dismantle the existing structure
The owner must request a variance from the zoning board
The owner can build without permission under federal law

The correct answer is: The owner must request a variance from the zoning board

If an owner wants to build an accessory building that is not permitted under current zoning, they cannot simply sell the property or dismantle the existing structure as these are not solutions to the issue. Additionally, building without permission under federal law is not a viable option as zoning laws exist at the local level. Therefore, the only action that can be taken in this scenario is for the owner to request a variance from the zoning board, which would allow them to build the accessory building even though it is not currently permitted.
