What should I know about zoning before purchasing commercial property?

Zoning determines how a property may legally be used and can significantly influence future business operations, redevelopment opportunities, and expansion plans. Before purchasing commercial property, it’s important to confirm that the intended use is permitted under current local zoning regulations.

Because zoning requirements vary by municipality and property, buyers should verify permitted uses and understand any restrictions that may apply before completing a transaction.
