Where Can I find the zone of my property?
I would like to renovate a property investment and would like to know what type
of zone the property. Currently it is a duplex house and would like to increase
to four plex units by adding another floor. How do I find out if this is okay to
do or not?

Zoning is local: it is under the control of the town or municipality. Contact your municipality's (or town's or village's, etc.) department of building/housing; they can let you know the zoning for that address, what is permitted under that zoning, and how to seek a waiver (an exeption to the zoning) if necessary and you want to go to that trouble/expense. (Of course, you are not guaranteed a waiver: you can apply, but might not get.)
