Texas Zoning Attorney
Experienced Dallas Land Use and Zoning Legal Services
Zoning and land use is where real estate intersects with politics. And while zoning code details vary from city to city, they share a common legal foundation.
For example, Dallas features some of the most complex zoning laws in the United States, with a:
- Zoning board
- City council
- 29 property classifications within city limits
Every section of Dallas has a zoning classification, which may need to be rezoned depending on a developer's needs. Depending on the location, business operations, and intention of use, your project will require certain adherence to local and federal ordinances. It is critical to understand how land use and zoning apply to your development.

Comprehensive Overview of Zoning Laws
Zoning is the means local governments use to restrict how you may use your real property. Complex federal constitutional principals and state preemptive laws can limit local zoning ordinances.
Zoning laws, for example, prevent companies from building factories in or near neighborhoods. They can also regulate:
- Building height
- Number of trees
- Impervious cover
- Vested rights
- Platting
- Urban infill
