Property Rights

A homeowners association that decides to implement new restrictions or outrageous fees. A government agency trying to pay owners below-market compensation for condemned property. A  hotel owner who discriminates.

The Burnette Shutt & McDaniel Property Rights Team helps both owners and tenants with these legal disputes and more.

The firm offers clients extensive legal experience in land use and zoning, including working with property owners who need permits to expand. Firm founding partner Kathleen McDaniel has a unique skillset that includes in-depth legal knowledge, government service, and a scientific background that lets her guide clients through the land use and zoning process

Burnette Shutt & McDaniel property rights attorneys also advocate for those who want to block projects they fear will hurt their property values or harm the environment. This includes helping with proactive measures, such as addressing proposed or needed local and state law changes that could affect a client’s property.

Burnette Shutt & McDaniel defends property rights in other ways, too. The firm represents clients in eminent domain and condemnation cases, working to try to make sure property owners are paid fairly when a government agency takes their land.

Of course, these days homeowners associations and condominium owners associations can wield more power than a government agency. The Burnette Shutt & McDaniel Property Rights team frequently represents home or condo owners in their fights against increased fees or overly restrictive regulations.

The team’s legal skills aren’t limited to property owners, either. They also represent clients who have been discriminated against in  housing accommodations, including hotels, bed-and-breakfast inns, and short-term vacation rentals.
