Is there a name for a lawyer that specializes in land and property concerns?

That deals in city , county, state rules ,rights or laws regarding what is or isn't allowed.

Someone to consult prior to purchasing either an improved lot(s) or unimproved acres.

That can distinguish zoning, easements, conveyances etc.

Real estate attorney. Any good real estate attorney can verify how the property is zoned, etc. to verify your proposed use is permitted. If an issue turns up requiring conditional use permitting, variance, etc., then s/he will probably refer you to a zoning attorney.

Maybe he'd like to ask a question of real people with real intelligence, not artificial stupidity.

"The Almighty, He put some livin' things on this earth so a man can eat." - Festus Haggen, Gunsmoke

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

You need to find the local lawyer, which the municipality uses to draft their ordinances, etc.

If you need something changed, that’s a different person.

You'd want a lawyer who specializes in Zoning and Real Estate/Property law not just a closing attorney, some states have real estate laws that have statutes of limitation running 99 years.

Call the office and ask questions. My local real estate attorney also dabbles in condo sales and seems more interested in that than zoning easments etc. He initially thought I was in the market for 20 condo units facing the GOA. All real estate attoneys have areas of specialization just like doctors.

A bore.

No fun at parties.

At a party, always find the divorce attorney, or better yet, the sex crimes attorney.
