Land use in Rhode Island can be a difficult area to navigate without legal assistance. The state is known for its conservation efforts, especially with regard to wetlands, and sustainable eco-systems as these native habitats provide shelter and a steady food supply to the wildlife in the various areas of RI.
Prior to the development of any real estate project, or commercial or residential development of any kind, check to be sure that the zoning ordinances and land use requirements are suited to your needs, and that the kind of development you intend to install will be permissable under those ordinances.
Remember that inherited property rights may not carry forward with the title if the laws concerning land use have changed since the initial purchase. This is particularly true of coastal and lakefront homes that were perhaps grandfathered into old ordinances and laws, but will no longer be permitted the same use under the newer and stricter environmental and land use ordinances in the State.
Consulting with one of the experienced zoning and land use attorney at Miller, Scott and Holbrook, Newport zoning and real estate attorneys, will provide you with the information you need to make the most informed legal decision when purchasing land, or examining land use permissions and restrictions in RI.
