Experienced Representation in Zoning Disputes

Our attorneys have substantial experience in zoning and land use disputes. We represent individuals, corporations and business clients in a wide range of these matters, including

  • Obtaining or preventing rezoning
  • Filing appeals before city, town, or county Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA) for alleged zoning violations or obtaining variances (exceptions)
  • Prosecuting or defending appeals from the ZBA to the Superior Court, the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and the North Carolina Supreme Court

Cties and towns regulate the use of land through zoning ordinaces. The Odom Firm has a record of success in cases of individuals and businesses who find themselves in dispute with the government or a governmental entity. In zoning and land use cases, we apply extensive experience in real estate litigation with a commitment to stand up for the rights of our clients.

Most recently our lawyers have successfully represented businesses and individuals who have been accused of zoning violations before the City of Charlotte Zoning Board of Adjustment, Town of Pineville Zoning Board of Adjustment, Town of Mint Hill City Council, Town of Huntersville City Council, and Lincoln County Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Even seemingly simple matters such as a zoning dispute regarding parking or permitted uses of your property can have a dramatic impact on the success of a small business. Our aim is to provide high-quality legal guidance and determined representation to help our clients obtain their long-term goals and protect their property rights.
