What Are Real Estate Entitlements?
Real estate entitlements refer to the legal approvals and permissions required to develop land or modify its use. The process ensures that proposed projects align with municipal planning regulations and zoning ordinances. Without securing proper entitlements, developers face project delays, legal challenges, and financial losses.
A successful entitlement process requires in-depth knowledge of:
Zoning laws & land use regulations
Municipal planning & development codes
Environmental impact assessments
Community engagement & public hearings
Permit acquisition & compliance requirements
