Florida has various state and local government development regulations and land use laws that impact approvals and permitting of a project, including governmental lobbying, tax and incentive programs, and administrative proceedings.  These procedures require the negotiation and documentation of the local approvals and development agreements, platting, and zoning matters including rezoning, variances, special exceptions and conditional uses. By collaborating with development consultants, planners, and engineers, our attorneys can assist with every step of this process, from proposed concepts for vacant land through the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy.

This includes the representation of clients before governmental boards such as City Councils and City Commissions, Boards of County Commissions, Planning and Zoning Commissions, Development Review Committees, and Technical Review Committees.
