The most important thing is where do you live presently? If you live in society thrn i think it is impossible that any people of society allow you to do so. The most important is the location where you live so that other's cant disturb by you, you need to concern you local goverment.

Freebird - most residential homes are not zoned for commercial use. You will need to contact your city or county zoning board to find out how the property is zoned.

Freebird, The quick answer is; most probably not. But it's really easy to find out for sure... You see; most every area of this country have zoning laws in place that regulate and restrict how a certain property can be used. These areas are usually broken down into residential zones, commercial zones, industrial zones, etc. The goal is to cluster similar uses in the same area and to maintain strong property values across the board. If you stop by your local county clerk's office and/or planning department they should have a copy of the zoning map and regulations on hand (Don't forget to check their website, many municipalities publish these online). Check the allowed uses for the exact zoning of your property and you'll know for sure. I hope that helps... Regards, Tony O
