Land Use

Advising Clients on Connecticut Land Use Law for 25 Years

Regulation of land use varies from city to city and county to county, and even simple misunderstandings can threaten the future of a development or at least cause problems and delays for developers. And that's just the start: a city's building codes and zoning laws can further complicate the equation. An experienced attorney can provide legal counsel and answer questions about real property, land improvements and property rights.

At the New Haven, Connecticut, law firm of Yolen and Perzin, LLC, lawyer Tim Yolen has provided land use and municipal law advice and representation since 1980. He can answer your questions and discuss your legal options regarding:

  • Zoning and land use
  • Wetlands and other issues of conservation
  • Condominium law
  • Eminent domain or condemnation
  • Adverse possession
  • Partition actions
  • Commercial and residential real estate, including closings and transactions
  • Real property matters

Mr. Yolen has helped hundreds of developers and property owners resolve land use issues. He has assisted developers in working with municipalities to gain approval for developments. He can represent property owners when state and local governmental agencies threaten to take away property in eminent domain actions and offer less than full value. And he can advocate for parties when property ownership becomes disputed under adverse possession laws.

In addition to his hands-on legal experience, Mr. Yolen's land use credentials, community contributions and experience include:

  • Working with and appearing before conservation commissions, planning and zoning boards of appeal, and planning and zoning commissions
  • Former town attorney for North Branford
  • Special master to New Haven Superior Court in property tax litigation
  • Member of the Planning and Zoning, Real Property and Commercial Law Sections of the Connecticut Bar Association
  • Service as chairperson for the New Haven Livable City Commission since 1996
