Dedication of land Clause Samples
The Dedication of Land clause establishes the requirement for a party, typically a developer or landowner, to transfer ownership or usage rights of a specified portion of land to a public authority or entity. This clause often applies in the context of real estate developments, where land may be set aside for public roads, parks, utilities, or other community infrastructure as a condition of project approval. Its core function is to ensure that necessary public amenities or infrastructure are provided and maintained, thereby supporting orderly development and meeting regulatory or community needs.
