Zoning issues

Question
How can I verify if a lot is zoned for commercial use? 
Answer
Start by asking that question at your local town/city zoning or tax assessor office. Tell them exactly what business you plan to build there - and ensure the site is zoned correctly. Some commercial zoning can be limited to offices, retail, etc., but not manufacturing, for example.
