What is involved in trying to change residential property to commericial property?
You end up dealing with different clientele. Also only certain properties can be converted from residential property to commercial property. You cannot change a house to commercial property without changing the entire layout.
What is the procedure for change in zoning from residential to commercial?
You would generally submit an application for a building permit to make a change from residential to commercial, if there were any changes required for that type of commercial occupancy. Otherwise, you would simply apply for a permit for change of use and obtain the necessary inspection and certificate of occupancy for the commercial use. Depending upon the location and local rules, you may be prohibited from changing residential to commercial of various types, absent a "waiver", known as a variance, after a public hearing and assuming the local rules allow it under the circumstances. Just because you own some property does not necessarily mean you can use it for whatever you want. Zoning laws carry out the police power to regulate land use for the health, safety, morals and general welfare of all.
Becoming Familiar with Commercial Leases?
Before leasing commercial property, become acquainted with the terms of the lease. Leasing commercial property for a business is different than leasing residential property. Get clear understanding of the amount of the rent, whether it is to be paid weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. The length of the lease is another important factor. You can not change or break a commercial lease. It is legally binding. Commercial leases are not a standard form lease but each is customized based on what type of business the landlord desires or is willing to lease the space out for. Examine commercial leases before signing, and make sure you understand the agreement that you are entering into.

What can you do if you have property in the county and someone wants to put a foster care group home on the adjacent property and zone it commercial?
Normally.... If you live in a residential zoning district that does not permit group homes at all, and someone wants to establish a group home but group homes are only allowed in commercial districts, then the proponent of the group home normally would have to apply for a zoning change (usually both a zoning amendment and a zoning map amendment). This would require legal notice (the local zoning ordinances would specify the radius around the property of people who would be entitled to notice and to object at public hearing). Normally also if the result is a commercial "island" in a residential district that does not connect to a commercial district, that's called "spot zoning" and not favored or, in many places, prohibited. If the commercial district abuts (shares a dividing line) with the residential district, there may be nothing that can be done to prevent it if the use is a permitted use in the commercial district and otherwise meets the zoning criteria of the commercial district. Often commercial districts include city centers. HOWEVER, many uses like this, are often "special uses" in residential districts, or whatever district they may be allowed to be in at all. So even if it is allowed in a residential district, if it's allowed only as a "special use", then again you need notice and hearing(s). And when you say it's in the "county" and not part of a municipality, other considerations may apply.

In what situation would I need to choose a commercial roofing service versus a residential one?
In many cases a roofing company will do industrial, commercial and residential roofing. Normally one would call a commercial roofing company if it is a large span building. In that instance, load-bearing must be considered. Most of the time, a residential roofing company is the best choice for a home. I believe the price for a commercial roofing job will be substantially more costly.
