Connecticut Real Estate Attorneys
Generally speaking, land use is the many ways in which humans use the land for agriculture, industry, wilderness, mining, urban development and scores of other uses. Zoning refers to the municipal, state and national rules that designate certain types of land use in specific areas. Land use and zoning is an area of law in which real estate law, property rights, environmental law, business law and government regulations intersect.
