What is Municipal Law

Municipal law is a broad term encompassing the laws that apply within a city, township, or other local government entity. It covers a wide range of issues, including zoning, land use, and development. 

Why You May Need an Attorney

While some laws are common to all Pennsylvania municipalities, every local government has its own unique laws and ordinances. Zoning and land use laws can be very complicated, and the penalties for even unknowingly violating them can be severe and expensive. Whether you are facing an enforcement action from your local government, or want to perform some development or building work on your property, it’s critical that you have the guidance of an experienced municipal law attorney.
