Land Use and Zoning
In Pennsylvania, buying land with an intended use in mind is as much as a zoning-and-permitting decision as it is an investment decision. Before you sign an agreement of sale, you must confirm whether the local municipality allows your intended use on the land, and whether your plans will be impacted by setbacks such as parking or stormwater/erosion controls.
Working with an attorney familiar with evaluating potential obstacles helps you avoid the “we bought it, but can’t use it” surprises.
