What happens when your client wants to develop property or use an existing building in a manner that is different than how it is presently being used? How do you help your client make good real estate decisions in these kinds of situations? Come learn about the tools you'll need to help your clients navigate real estate transactions involving zoning and land use issues.

In this class, you'll gain a working knowledge of the regulatory framework surrounding zoning and land use decisions and hear useful tips from a top local zoning attorney on how to strategically navigate sales and lease transactions involving zoning questions. You will learn how to determine which local government makes decisions about the subject property as well as practical information for helping the client assess the uses allowed on the property, including whether the use aligns with the local government's future plans for the property. This course provides insight into special zoning issues, such an environmental laws, that should be considered as your client decides whether to purchase or lease property. You will learn about the procedures for rezoning property and how to help your client obtain variances and special use permits from the local government for specific uses on the property BEFORE the sales or lease transaction is executed. You will also explore constitutional limitations regarding zoning matters that could arise while your client moves through the approval process. In addition, you will be briefed on the proper steps your client should take to appeal a denial of zoning decision by a local government body.
