Zoning and Land Use Law

Zoning and land use law refers to regulations that control how land can be used in certain areas. They determine what activities are allowed—like residential housing, commercial businesses, or recreational spaces—helping to ensure public safety, health, and community development. Property managers must understand these laws to ensure their properties comply with local ordinances, maintain property values, and avoid legal issues. Zoning laws can affect everything from building height and design to noise levels, impacting overall community aesthetics and function.
