Real Estate Development

Minnesota developers face heavy regulation from city zoning boards and planning commissions. We guide you through Minnesota land-use and zoning law so your project moves forward without delay.

Common Problems

• Zoning compliance and variance applications
• Conditional use permits and land-use approvals
• Municipal board hearings and appeals
• Permit denials or unreasonable conditions
• Land-use disputes and environmental objections

What You Can Recover

• Variance and permit approvals
• Relief from unlawful restrictions or conditions
• Compensation in rare cases of regulatory takings

Why Legal Help Matters

Local boards and councils apply Minnesota zoning law with strict deadlines. We:

• Anticipate and resolve zoning objections
• Advocate for variances and conditional use permits
• Appeal city or county denials under Minn. Stat. § 462.361
• Keep projects compliant and on schedule

Don’t Wait to Act

Appeals from zoning or planning commission decisions must be filed within 30 days (Minn. Stat. § 462.361). Miss that window and the decision becomes final.
