Land Use and Zoning

The Land Use and Zoning practice area focuses on the legal aspects of land development and the regulations governing how land can be used. This area encompasses zoning laws, land use planning, and environmental regulations that dictate what can be built on a property, the types of activities allowed, and how those activities affect surrounding areas. Attorneys in this field assist clients—such as developers, property owners, and municipalities—in navigating complex local, state, and federal regulations. They may work on securing permits, challenging zoning decisions, and ensuring compliance with environmental laws. The practice often involves addressing disputes related to zoning variances, land use restrictions, and community planning initiatives, with the aim of balancing property rights with community interests and environmental concerns.
