Coastal development on the Gulf of Mexico is projected to be affected by sea level rise. Local governments are taking many approaches to planning for sea level rise. Some actions include downzoning, increasing setbacks and limiting the right to rebuild. Some of these strategies will disproportionately impact owners of condominium units on the coast. As your local government grapples with these issues, we can assist your association to understand the proposed laws, insurance requirements and appropriate procedures to safeguard their investment in real property
