Zoning refers to local government regulations that define how property in specific geographic zones can be used, controlling aspects like building types, densities, and land uses.
A permit is official authorization to proceed with a certain activity on a property, such as construction or alteration, ensuring compliance with safety and zoning standards.
An easement is a legal right to use another’s land for a specific limited purpose, such as access or utilities, without owning it.
Title insurance protects property owners and lenders against losses from defects in the title to a property, such as liens or disputes over ownership.
