Texas Zoning and Land Use
If you are a business owner or commercial developer in Texas, disputes involving land use laws and zoning ordinances can pose a significant threat to your real estate investments in terms of time and money. Our firm can help make certain that your rights are protected.
Some zoning and land use restrictions decisions can dramatically reduce the value of a property. In some cases it amounts to an inverse condemnation, requiring substantial compensation to the landowner.
The issue of "dedication" is often abused by the government. Dedication is where the government refuses to allow you to develop your property unless you dedicate, or give, a certain amount of property to the government. The government may also demand that you construct roadway improvements before it will allow you to develop your property. We can help you make sure such demands are fair and reasonable.
Issues may include:
- Fair market value and good faith offers
- Fair and just compensation
- Valid public use of property
- Relocation claims
- Regulatory taking
- Access to property issues
- Environmental impact issues
- Payment for damages, lost income and business interruption
