Construction Progress Compliance
Following the passage of the Misc. Changes & Foreign Affairs Omnibus Act by the Parliament of Azalea Isles, there is now a series of complex regulations involving progress on your plot. This guidance is to help you ensure you are complaint:

Required Construction Demonstration:

• Any undeveloped plots must visually indicate construction activity.
• A fence stack between three to five blocks high of the same material must enclose the plot, with appropriate entrance gates if needed.
• The plot must include realistic construction elements such as material piles, cranes, concrete mixers, and scaffolding.

Support from the Ministry of Urban Development (MUD):

• MUD will provide pre-fabricated construction equipment designs.
• Developers may request MUD to decorate plots with required displays at a reasonable cost covering materials only.

Penalties for Non-Compliance:

• MUD may fine and remove any construction developments deemed an eyesore.
• Non-compliant plots will be fined $1000 plus $100 per additional day.
• New plot owners have two weeks to comply before the plot may be seized.
• After one week, fines of $250 per day will apply, continuing until compliance is met. Plots out of compliance for 30 days may be seized.

Production on Plots
Following the passage of the Production on Plots Act by the Parliament of Azalea Isles, there is now a series of complex regulations involving farms on your plot. This guidance is to help ensure you are complaint:

Farm Definitions:

• A farm is any group of more than five crops within a two-block radius.
• An animal farm is more than one of each animal type within a plot.

Farm Plots ("F" Plots):

• Only citizens with a Farmer degree or companies 25% owned by a Farmer degree holder can buy or rent these plots.

Industrial Plots ("I" Plots):

• Farms and animal farms are allowed but must be hidden unless they are aesthetically acceptable.
• MUD will determine if a farm is an eyesore:
  • Owners have 14 days to fix any issues.
  • Failure to comply results in a $1,000 fine and an additional 7-day extension.
  • Continued non-compliance leads to building removal.
  • Owners can appeal to Parliament with a $500 filing fee.

Business Plots ("C" and "B" Plots):

• Farms and animal farms are banned on business plots.
• Penalties for violations:
  • Farms will be removed immediately.
  • Fines: $50 per animal, $10 per crop.
  • Decorative single animals or crops are allowed.

Residential Plots ("R" Plots):

• Banned:
  • Farms and animal farms (except decorative crops/animals).
  • Industrial machinery.
  • Redstone setups (except hidden storage/sorting systems).
• Penalties match business plot violations.
