How to keep air rights on a property?

Air rights are part of your property ownership, but if you sell or transfer them (common in cities), they can be separated. To keep them, avoid signing them away and ensure your deed and zoning documents reflect full retention of those rights.

Retaining air rights means you legally control the space above your property to a certain height. This can affect neighboring development, views, and potential for future construction. The rules & regulations governing air rights can vary significantly from one location to another -- as well of what is possible in one city might not be the same in another. You really need to consult a legal professional to understand local regulations and create agreements if needed.
