Zoning Law

Zoning law refers to regulations established by local governments that dictate how land can be used in specific areas. In residential real estate, zoning laws determine what types of buildings can be constructed, such as single-family homes, apartments, or commercial properties. They also set rules regarding aspects like building height, density, and the distance buildings must be from property lines. These laws aim to promote orderly development, ensure community safety, and enhance the quality of life for residents by managing land use in a way that meets the needs of the neighborhood.
