Land use and zoning laws are put in place to regulate the use and development of real estate within a municipality. Zoning is the most common form of land-use regulation and is used by local municipalities to control the development of property with the city’s borders. These zones are meant to divide the city into residential, commercial, and industrial “zones” in order to keep them separate. This is primarily to protect property values and residents, as most people don’t want to live next to a business or industrial facility. For this reason, companies are only allowed to operate within commercial zones. Our team can help you ensure you are in compliance with all zoning and land use regulations.
