Law and Regulation 

Students will be able to review, summarize and/or revise regulations and development agreements and contracts  

• Recognize and investigate fundamentals of real estate law and purchase and sale agreements.

• Investigate regulations affecting the development of a property including zoning ordinances, subdivision ordinances, and drainage ordinances.

• Examine and evaluate title commitments and boundary surveys. 

Throughout the coursework, it is well defined that understanding the laws and regulations of a municipality has been the key to unlocking the development potential of a site. A developer should understand the requirements a municipality has about zoning, occupancy, and utilities. 

The development agreements set forward to execute a project play directly into a project's success. Including easements, this can dictate the usability of a site and the ability to change attributes of the development plan.
