Attorneys new to a real estate and land use practice or those who need to brush up on RELU basics will find this information-packed seminar invaluable. Find out when a land use permit really isn’t a “permit,” and get tips on working with title companies. Glean best practices and common errors when filing documents, and gain an understanding of quasi-judicial hearings procedures. Learn how to lawfully create your lot or parcel (hint: it’s not a tract) and identify key provisions in standard commercial leases. Gain practical information about procedures and deadlines for appeals before the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). Achieving a successful closing is discussed, and notable posts of 2010 on the RELU Section listserv are shared.
