Zoning laws are subject to change due to CodeNext. This blog was written in 2018 Everything you need to know about zoning is on the City of Austin website and this zoning guide. I’ve highlighted the basic information you need to know with links for more in-depth descriptions.

A 1031 exchange is a way to defer taxes on your capital gains from selling an investment property. When you sell an investment property and there is a profitable gain, you typically pay tax on the gain of the sale. A 1031 provides an exception and allows you to postpone paying tax on the gain if you reinvest the proceeds into a similar property. (Tax deferred- not tax free).
