Content: Land use laws. How a piece of land can be used is governed by real estate laws. Is the property zoned as residential, commercial, or industrial? Can land be rezoned from one type to another? What about development for a university or public school for students? Can zoning rules be temporarily waived in certain situations? This is all determined by the real estate statutes on the books. Construction. Where can construction take place and what kind of buildings can be built is determined by real estate law. Real estate law also determines the building codes that new construction must meet.
