How a Construction Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Land Use Restriction Agreement in Georgia

In 2024, a business in Georgia sought assistance with drafting a land use restriction agreement. The client aimed to establish a thirty-year commitment to allocate 10% of their housing units to very low-income households, as required for a density increase under local zoning regulations. This effort was essential for compliance with Dekalb County’s mixed-income housing code, ensuring that the project aligns with community housing needs. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with the flat fee bid priced at $800. The proposal was submitted in accordance with the client’s deadline of one week, providing the necessary legal support to move forward with their construction project.
