MLS closed sales, with duplicate ingestions collapsed and lease records excluded, so each row is a distinct transaction. Rows marked county record come from the assessor's deed data, which reaches back further than the MLS feed; rows marked via a listing site fill the years the feed misses using that site's public sale record.

Land Coverage (TRPA)

Tahoe Regional Planning Agency impervious-coverage budget for this parcel

Estimated above allowance
1,640 sq ft covered of 1,502 sq ft allowed
TRPA's map estimates show more existing coverage than the estimated allowance. Both are estimates, not a ruling: a Land Capability Verification sets the real allowance, and coverage built before TRPA's rules is often legally existing.

TRPA caps how much of each Tahoe Basin parcel can be covered by impervious surfaces — buildings, driveways, decks. Existing coverage is TRPA's satellite estimate; allowed coverage uses TRPA's verified land class when one is on file, otherwise TRPA's estimate — data: TRPA GIS / Tahoe Open Data, LT Info. The only authoritative determination of coverage and land capability is a Land Capability Verification through TRPA; actual allowable coverage can differ due to verifications, transfers, banked coverage, or deed restrictions.
