Lease Guide

Step 1: Confirm Your Business Location

Begin by identifying the exact location of your proposed business. Each city must approve the type of business you intend to operate at that specific address.

Please contact the city where your business will be located to ensure it is permitted under local zoning regulations.

You can confirm this by calling the city’s planning or zoning department or visiting their website.

Below are the phone numbers and website links for each city
