Frequently Asked Questions About Land Use Attorneys

What do land use attorneys do, and when should I hire one?

Skilled land use attorneys help developers and property owners interpret zoning codes and work with planning boards to obtain necessary approvals for construction or renovation, reducing the risk of violations or liability.

What if I want to build on a property but the zoning doesn’t allow it?

If your intended use conflicts with current zoning regulations, a zoning attorney can help you seek a variance, rezoning, or special exception from the appropriate zoning and planning boards.
