Repurposing real estate involves using buildings for a purpose other than their original intended use. This can be a cost-effective way to maximize property value, but it also comes with legal challenges. These challenges include complying with zoning and land-use requirements, changing utility rates, paying additional land price, and triggering variations in property tax rates and special contributions. It is important for owners and tenants to carefully consider these legal issues before embarking on a repurposing project.
