Yes, and we recommend it. A feasibility study is a site visit, a zoning and land use review, a code review against the specific jurisdiction, and a written determination of whether the project as described can be permitted, what it would require, and what would have to change.

Not without verification. Prior approvals expire, get conditioned, or apply to a use different from yours. We check what is actually on record with the jurisdiction and tell you what carries forward.

It may be, and the exemption is narrower than most people are told. It generally covers storing farm equipment and produce or housing livestock, and it tends to end once there is human occupancy, retail sale, public access or employees working in the structure. An office or a restroom is usually enough to end it. We give you that answer in writing before the building goes up.

Sometimes both, and the land use path is the long one. Finding that out after the drawings are done is the most expensive way to learn it. It is the first thing we check.
