Land Use, Land Planning & Zoning

Effective Representation Before Municipal Officials

Land use and real estate development, including subdivision and zoning, require effective representation relating to a proposed project or use before municipal officials. We help our clients obtain all municipal approvals necessary in order to proceed with a land use, subdivision or building plan.

Guiding You Through the Details of Local Ordinances

Moving forward with any land development project requires obtaining municipal permits and approvals. The process involves navigating local ordinances regarding subdivision and zoning, stormwater management, building permits and sewage requirements. We will work with you and your engineer throughout the course of your project and assist with presenting your plan to the zoning hearing board, municipal governing body or planning commission. We can further assist you in preparing agreements or easements that may be required in order to obtain your approvals.

Experience Counts

For over 35 years our firm has both represented and appeared before local governing bodies. Our commitment to professionalism has built strong and enduring relationships with many municipalities. Our clients benefit directly from this experience as we work through the process of obtaining the approvals required for the successful completion of their projects.
