Who We Help
Investors
You may need a Use Variance to maximize an investment, achieve compliance, or because of a hardship that requires it. We understand the politics of neighborhoods and what L&I and the Zoning Board require. We work with you to establish the best way forward for your specific project so that your money is being well-invested and the most successful strategy is deployed.
Read More
Developers
There are many moving parts to a single development project; let alone multiple at a time. It is vital that you work with people who get the job done correctly and efficiently. (We pride ourselves on running a tight ship.) We can acquire your by-right zoning permits, execute the entirety of zoning /use variance projects, obtain building permits, and process tax abatements.

Business Owners
Certain businesses require certain zoning permits and business licenses; such as a special exception variance or a Zoning / Use registration permit. In addition, you will need certain pre-requisite licenses, accounts, and permits such as a Commercial Activity License. We handle the entire process for you so you can get your business up and running as quickly and cohesively as possible.

Testimonials
“As a developer, I don’t have time to manage the logistics that go into zoning projects. Before working with Philadelphia Zoning, I had to go down to the city to do my own expediting, etc. PZ is a one stop shop that hires and manages everything in-house (zoning attorney, architect/engineer, expediters) to make sure the process is effective and efficient, which saves me time, money, and energy.”
– Shawn Bullard, CEO of Watchmen Property Management & Konkrete Investments
“For my acupuncture studio to get off the ground, it was essential that my home be re-zoned to accommodate a business on the first floor. Philadelphia Zoning made it happen, allaying my fears every step of the way. To those who say I didn’t need a zoning attorney and could have done it myself: the time saved and headaches prevented by hiring people who specialize in zoning law made it worth every penny.”
– Eva Zeller, Owner – Acupuncture Off Broad

All I have to say is this team has SAVED my butt! From working through a messy system and getting my case heard by an unbiased audience, to appealing a case, and getting me my MULTI FAM allowance, I wouldn’t know where I’d be with out them. Communication is a 10, diligence is a 10, organization is a 10, and they work well with several different attorneys to have matters handled. A++ in my book. Thanks !
– Kyle Banghart, Real Estate Investor
