WHEN IN DOUBT…

The above links are an extremely helpful place to start, but a meeting with a Planner at your local City Building/Planning Department is priceless. Take a list of questions along with the full address of the property you plan to or currently own. They will look up the rest of the details for you. Check location and hours through these links first so you don’t waste your time.
