• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Belle Vernon, that means asking Fayette County and the Borough of Belle Vernon. Official source
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
