Zoning and entitlement dictate the legally permissible uses, density, height limits, and structural footprints allowed on a piece of commercial property. In Florida, transactions involving development or redevelopment sites frequently include contract contingencies based on obtaining entitlements, concurrency approvals (such as traffic and water capacity), and environmental permits. A specialized brokerage identifies these constraints during the due diligence phase to prevent buyers from acquiring unbuildable land or to help sellers properly price their entitled property.
