Phoenix Zoning and Entitlements Lawyer

Do You have a Zoning or Entitlement Matter in Phoenix?

Zoning has to do with what property owners may do with their property in an area. For instance, just because you own a lot in a residential area does not mean you can set up a store. If you wish to do something not allowed by zoning however you may apply for a variance from the local zoning board. If you plan a real estate development, you will need to seek an entitlement from the governmental authorities approving of your plans. To assist in your endeavors, you are encouraged to contact a Phoenix real estate lawyer for guidance and representation.
