Legal question

[supporter]

Gentlemen,

I am thinking of trying to find an abandoned building somewhere in Arizona, and hosting a CQB event from that building. I know I would have to do a lot of work to make that building safe, away from the people, and all of that, but my main question (maybe you can help with this Doc) is what would I have to do to be able to use that building? What kind of permits/licenses/whatever else do I need to 'rent' the building?

Thanks in advance

Eventually Doc's gonna stop giving out legal advice for free.

Point 1. As you have yet to achieve your Age of Majority, you will not be able to enter into a contract to rent the building. having said that, ->

2. Permits would depend on the location and zoning of the building. Different municipalities have different regulations as to building use.
If this was a "one-time" use, then an event permit may be necessary.
A license to operate is (most likely) unnecessary unless you plan on doing this as a business. A good resource would be to check your City's Web site for Planning and Zoning, or Business Licenses and Permits.
