FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigating local government and land use issues can be complex – but we’re here to make it easier. Whether you’re a property owner facing zoning hurdles, a developer seeking project approvals, or a citizen with questions about public meetings or permitting, we’re committed to providing clear, strategic guidance. Below are answers to a few of the most common questions we hear.

While it’s not required, having an attorney experienced in land use law can significantly improve your chances of success. We help prepare your application, present your case effectively, and anticipate issues before they become problems.
Florida’s Sunshine Law ensures transparency in government by requiring public access to meetings and records. Whether you’re a board member or a concerned citizen, we can help you understand your rights and responsibilities under the law.
Yes. We assist property owners in responding to code enforcement actions and working toward resolution, whether that involves negotiation, compliance planning, or formal hearings.
While these are our focus areas, we’re always happy to listen and assess your legal needs. If it falls outside our scope, we’ll connect you with a trusted attorney from our extensive local network.
Yes, but time is critical. If you’ve received an adverse decision from a local government board or agency, you may have the right to appeal or seek judicial review – but Florida law and local ordinances impose very short deadlines, sometimes as little as 15 days, to initiate that process. We can assess your situation, determine your options, and act quickly to protect your rights. Don’t wait – contact us as soon as possible.

Local Government

Our local government law practice includes advising public entities and private individuals on matters such as public records, Sunshine Law compliance, procurement, ethics, governance, and intergovernmental relations.

Our local government practice is built on deep knowledge of Florida law and nearly two decades of experience working with cities, counties, and special districts throughout the region. We understand the wide range of legal issues that local governments face – from public meetings and records compliance to procurement, ethics, interlocal agreements, and daily operational concerns. Local governments regulate everything from zoning and land use to utilities, signage, licensing, building codes, noise ordinances, business operations, environmental protections, and community redevelopment. These layers of regulation require not just technical expertise, but a strategic understanding of how local policy decisions are made and enforced.

Having spent years representing and appearing before local governments, we’ve built strong, respectful relationships with community leaders, staff, and elected officials. We know how to navigate local processes efficiently and effectively – whether we’re representing a public body or advocating for a private client. Our approach combines sound legal judgment, clear communication, and strong advocacy to help clients achieve meaningful results while staying in full compliance with local regulations.

Land Use

Our land use law practice involves guiding clients through zoning, comprehensive planning, development approvals, variances, code compliance, and the public hearing process at the local level.

Our land use practice spans every stage of the development and regulatory process—from initial planning and zoning to state-level administrative hearings and judicial review. We regularly assist clients in securing rezoning, variances, conditional use approvals, and development orders, guiding them through the often complex procedures required by local governments. When needed, we appear before planning boards, zoning commissions, and elected bodies to advocate for project approval or resolve regulatory concerns. Our deep understanding of local comprehensive plans, land development codes, and permitting processes allows us to provide strategic, tailored counsel to property owners, developers, businesses, and community stakeholders.

In addition to local proceedings, we represent clients in administrative hearings before state agencies such as the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Economic Opportunity. We are also experienced in challenging or defending land use decisions through petitions for writ of certiorari and other actions before Florida’s circuit courts. Whether working to move a project forward or seeking relief from an adverse decision, we combine thorough legal analysis with persuasive advocacy to protect our clients’ rights and advance their objectives.

Real Property Disputes

At Meredith Bush Law, PLLC, we represent property owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, developers, and community associations in resolving a wide range of real property disputes. Whether the issue involves boundary lines, easements, trespass, nuisance, title defects, restrictive covenants, or disputes arising out of purchase and sale contracts, we bring nearly two decades of legal experience and a practical, results-driven approach to every matter. We understand that real estate conflicts can be both financially and personally stressful, and we are committed to protecting our clients’ property rights while seeking efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Our firm is equipped to handle disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, depending on what best serves your goals. We take the time to analyze the facts, assess potential risks, and develop a tailored strategy that maximizes your position. From representing clients in court to guiding them through alternative dispute resolution, we provide strong advocacy at every stage. If you are facing a real property dispute, we can help you navigate the complexities of Florida law and work toward a favorable resolution.
