So, I want to build a wind turbine to power my home with electricity (I'm not really going off the grid, but I would like to reduce my electric bills.)

But before I get started, I'm going to have to check my local municipality's regulations to make sure I don't run afoul of any obscure laws. Fortunately, I don't have to deal with a homeowner's association. Some of those don't even let you put up a clothesline!
