Also, if I receive an application from a renter with a LARGE service dog, am I required to accept it, knowing that the grass in the small patch of lawn will not survive it (I am currently having to resod because of a departing renter's big dog).THANKS in advance.

I've played quite a bit of email and phone tag with different departments representing the City of Jacksonville and haven't been able to get a solid straight answer.

2) Re the flip, Do you have any experience in construction, or dealing with contractors, as well as your local building department?  

One of my coworkers does a lot of private lending similar to this and he always goes to a title agent in the area of the property and asks for the title's legal department to draft up legal loan documents. 

I am a Foreign Service Officer working for the United States Department of State, and I am often posted at consulates or embassies abroad.

I'd suggest you call the LA Housing Department.

Hey @Debbie Palmer, so I am with @John Underwood on calling.https://www.loganutah.gov/government/departments/community_d...There are several folks listed on that site that should be able to advise.I will say that she will essentially need to clear out all her personal and important things.

It seems like MA encourages (and maybe even requires) that you register with the Department of Revenue which leads me to believe it should be held in an LLC or business. 

What about caterers and the health department?
