Converting property into truck parking
by: Anonymous

Have you applied/contacted your county recorders office of your intention? There is a few things you must be in compliance with city ordinances as well.

I would think the property must be commercialized. Applying for a business license I am sure is part of it too. Paying taxes for your profits. I would think you would need security surrounding your business not to mention a bonding and expensive property Insurance to cover any losses of trucks/containers/etc...which some policies require over a million dollar protection policy...rigs are expensive to replace, not to mention if the person who owns it loses any business behind the loss....

Just some things to think about and be prepared for....Good Luck in your new business venture.
