Land is the ultimate resource. The private ownership of land is one of the most valuable of our legal rights. However, your use of your land is limited by how it affects your neighbor’s land, how it impacts the environment, and by a host of federal and state laws. Local zoning laws also play an increasingly large role. Those limitations can have a substantial impact on development and sale of real property. Depending on your position, that can be a good or a bad thing.
The Law Office of Douglas J. McCarty can assist individual land owners, developers, businesses and municipalities with land use and zoning issues as well as more traditional property law issues such as trespass, nuisance, mineral rights disputes, and easement encroachment. We also offer counseling and litigation services for clients in the analysis, preparation and negotiation of leases, options, purchases, rights of way and easements, due diligence, declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions, condemnation actions and homeowner association matters. Doug McCarty, the firm’s principle, has extensive experience litigating easement encroachment cases, trespass cases, mineral rights disputes, cases involving alleged tax sale irregularities, as well as other land law issues.
If you have a land use issue or real property transactional needs, we can help. Our doors are open. Contact us today.
