The Harris Act

Cadenhead Law Firm utilizes provisions of the Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Rights Protection Act (commonly known as the Harris Act) on behalf of our clients.

Use of this act can force a County Commission to identify the uses to which a property can be put and induce the Commission to make a settlement offer. If the results are not acceptable, we can take the matter to Circuit Court.

Avoiding Land Use Disputes

It is advisable to avoid conflicts with land use commissions when possible of course. Cadenhead Law Firm can work with you to produce a development plan that satisfies the Commission yet still allows you to develop your property in a profitable manner.

Our attorneys understand the internal dynamics of the various governmental agencies which regulate development in our area. We can advise you as to changes and amendments that should be made in your plan to satisfy specific or anticipated objections on the part of the Commission and other government agencies.
