How municipal & land use works in New Jersey
Land use lawyers represent developers, property owners, neighbors and towns before planning and zoning boards. Municipal lawyers advise local governments on contracts, ordinances and redevelopment.
New Jersey land use is governed by the Municipal Land Use Law. Variance and site plan applications are heard at public hearings, and decisions can be appealed to the Superior Court.
Questions to ask a lawyer
- Have you appeared before this town's boards?
