Municipal entitlements refer to permissions and approvals that a developer or property owner must obtain from local government authorities before proceeding with a development project. Securing these entitlements ensure that the proposed use or development complies with zoning laws, building codes, environmental regulations, and other municipal requirements. The entitlement process often involves undergoing public hearings to obtain various approvals, such as zoning variances, special use permits, or deed approvals. The Box Law Group specializes in obtaining municipal entitlements to allow development to proceed legally, economically, and efficiently throughout the OKC metro.

Eminent domain is the legal authority of a government to take private property for public use, provided that the property owner is paid just compensation. This power is typically exercised by governmental authorities to acquire land or property for projects such as building roads, schools, utilities, or other public infrastructure. The concept is rooted in the principle that the needs of the community or society as a whole may outweigh individual property rights; however, the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees that eminent domain can only be used if just compensation is paid to the private property owners. The Box Law Group has significant experience representing both private property owners and condemning authorities in the eminent domain process throughout Oklahoma.
