Zoning and Land Use Contracts

Zoning refers to laws that dictate how land can be used in specific areas, such as residential, commercial, or industrial. These regulations help organize communities and ensure land use aligns with local plans. Land use contracts are agreements between property owners and local governments outlining specific uses of the land, often tied to zoning regulations. In real estate transactions, understanding zoning and land use contracts is crucial, as they can affect property value, development potential, and compliance with local expectations. If a property doesn’t meet zoning requirements, it may face limitations on how it can be developed or used.
