Understanding Land Use and Zoning Law

Land use and zoning laws govern how land can be used within a community. These regulations dictate what types of buildings can be constructed, how land can be developed, and the overall density of neighborhoods. Understanding these laws is crucial for property owners, developers, and businesses alike. Compliance with land use and zoning ordinances is essential to avoid costly legal disputes, project delays, and potential fines.
