Skillful real estate attorneys work to secure necessary permits and approvals
Our broad-ranging experience in acquisitions, sales, financing, development, management, construction, and syndications allows us to guide clients in all aspects of land use, including:
- Zoning — Determining whether a given use conforms with zoning rules can be complicated. Regardless of the property, we clarify the situation for clients and seek approvals and variances when necessary. As seasoned advocates in this area, our lawyers are able to provide a qualified assessment regarding the best way to obtain a favorable zoning decision.
- Permitting — Federal, state and local rules might require one or more permits relating to construction, environmental protection, operations or other aspects of property use. We can advise you, before you undertake a major project, regarding the steps need to be taken in order to start making the most of your land. From there, we prepare the materials needed to help you gain the required authorizations.
- Easements — Whether you’re looking to use part of someone else’s property for a specific purpose or someone else has a legal right of way on your land, our attorneys will outline the law relating to easements and work toward resolutions that serve your interests.
- Restrictive covenants — Knowing what type of restrictive covenants run with a parcel of land is an essential part of wise real estate investment. We make sure that you have the information and legal support that you need to seek remediation of minor limitations and major infringements on property use.
- Subdivision authorizations — Developers looking to establish a subdivision must abide by state and county codes. We thoroughly review building plans and help the businesses we represent navigate the authorization process.
For these concerns and others, you can count on our experienced lawyers who know what it takes to get positive results in Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee and Palm Beach counties as well as other Florida locations.
