Land use law governs how property can be developed and used, balancing the rights of property owners with community and environmental considerations. With our local knowledge and legal expertise, we’re committed to helping you achieve your objectives while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations.

Addressing Every Aspect of Land Use Law

Southern Oregon’s diverse landscapes present unique opportunities and challenges for property owners and developers. Our land use law practice includes legal services in environmental law, real estate transactions, conservation trusts, and historic preservation, offering comprehensive support for a wide range of needs.

Environmental Law:  Environmental considerations play a central role in land use planning. From ensuring compliance with environmental impact assessments to navigating zoning laws and permits, we assist clients in meeting legal requirements while minimizing ecological impacts. Whether you’re developing property or addressing land disputes, we offer solutions that respect both your interests and environmental sustainability.

Real Estate Development and Transactions:  Land development requires careful planning and adherence to local ordinances and zoning regulations. We guide clients through site acquisitions, permitting processes, and negotiations with government agencies to ensure projects proceed smoothly. For real estate transactions, we provide contract review, due diligence, and representation in disputes.

Conservation Trusts:  For property owners interested in preserving land for future generations, we help establish conservation trusts and navigate related tax benefits and legal structures. These trusts protect land from development while allowing owners to maintain some rights and benefits.

Historic Preservation:  Historic properties hold cultural and personal significance. We work with property owners to secure designations, comply with preservation standards, and resolve disputes related to historic sites. By balancing preservation goals with practical use, we ensure your property remains a valuable asset.
