California is known as a litigious state, particularly regarding commercial property. Lawsuits are common, and the courtroom environment is often plaintiff-friendly. This is why most larger organizations seek the help of a Sacramento commercial real estate lawyer when they are:
Smaller organizations, like sole proprietorships and even married partners, might hire a commercial real estate attorney to:
Ultimately, every situation is unique, and the City of Sacramento, County of Sacramento, and State of California have complicated laws regarding commercial property. The paperwork can be complex and time-consuming, especially for small business owners who should focus on their business, not their real estate contracts.
Commercial real estate transactions in Sacramento require specific disclosures to protect buyers, including information about title insurance, potential hazards like asbestos, and zoning and land use restrictions. A skilled Sacramento commercial real estate lawyer helps clients file documents and provide disclosures relating to their property acquisitions and sales. This can be particularly helpful for out-of-state organizations and individuals unfamiliar with local laws.
While still working under the general framework of California real estate laws, Sacramento has some unique commercial real estate laws that can change quickly.
Sacramento is notorious for changing residential and commercial zoning laws often. A contemporary example is Sacramento’s elimination of single-family zoning constraints. This zoning change is an effort to encourage new multi-family housing developments in areas that were once strictly zoned for single-family homes.
Some residents feel this change will encourage diversity and provide much-needed housing options. On the other hand, some long-time homeowners believe these changes in zoning laws might encourage disruptive elements (crime, drug use, etc.) in their neighborhoods or lower property valuations. Individuals and investment firms looking to buy or renovate properties in these newly zoned areas of Sacramento should seek the assistance of a commercial real estate lawyer to ensure all documents are sound before proceeding with developments.
Whether you are a small business owner looking to move out of the garage into a real commercial space, a private landlord hoping to protect your family’s financial future, or a Fortune 500 company preparing to sell real estate in downtown Sacramento, we can help.
