Real estate development lawyers specialize in the legal aspects of land development, including zoning laws and land use regulations. They help developers navigate the complex legal landscape and ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and codes.
Zoning laws are regulations that govern the use of land within a particular area. These laws typically divide land into different zones, each with its own set of permitted uses. Land use regulations are similar to zoning laws, but they typically focus on specific activities or uses, such as building permits, environmental impact assessments, and historic preservation.
