I'm wondering if trying to build a commercial building would be harder than a residential building. Wouldn't the city scrutinize the type of business that you're trying to start with the commercial development/building, and the permitting process have to go through the city council so the "no...

I think greenhouses don't require a building permit, because sheds typically don't, but I want to be sure. Also, I'm wondering if there are any restrictions for gardens that I should be aware of. I know that areas with high fire zones restrict planting near buildings, but are there other...

Recently I noticed a piece of commercial land for sale in my area and I am thinking of buying it to build an office/workshop. Do I need to register myself as a business or obtain a business license to buy the land, or can I buy it under my own name?

Recently, a new wetlands bank is opening in Brandon Township in Michigan. The purpose of a wetlands bank is to offset the environmental damage that may be caused to other wetlands as a result of new construction. This will give Oakland county some environmental credits that can be used toward...

San Francisco has one of the worst building building permit processes in the nation. If you thought that the City of Poway was bad, they have nothing on the long building permit process that San Franscisco requires for development, which can take up to 3 years to approve. Problems that...
