Legal References:

Whether you are a plumber, a builder, or a homeowner, you must be aware of laws that govern home construction. They vary by locale and they change from time to time, so that it's sometimes difficult to keep up with them.

In addition, zoning boards and building departments establish their own rules and ordinances. Here is a group of websites that should provide the means to answer nearly every question you might have concerning real estate and construction law.
