Here are 10 common examples of guidelines or local-body requirements, with a brief note on what each covers and who typically enforces it:

1. Building permits and inspections — authorization for new construction, additions or major renovations; enforced by the local building/urban development department.
2. Zoning and land‑use approvals — rules on permitted uses, setbacks, height limits and density for a parcel; administered by the planning or zoning authority.
3. Business licenses and trade permits — registration/renewal required to operate retail, manufacturing or professional services; issued by the municipal or licensing department.
4. Health permits and food‑safety requirements — hygiene, kitchen layout, and food handling rules for restaurants/markets; enforced by the public health/food safety department.
5. Fire‑safety approvals and occupancy certificates — fire exits, extinguishers, alarm systems and maximum occupancy limits; reviewed by the fire department.
6. Environmental permits and clearances — controls for air/water emissions, hazardous waste, tree removal or environmental impact assessments; issued by local/state environmental agencies.
7. Signage and advertising regulations — size, placement and illumination limits for billboards and shop signs; regulated by municipal signage or planning authorities.
8. Noise, public‑event and curfew permits — restrictions and permit requirements for amplified sound, festivals or late‑night operations; managed by municipal or police departments.
9. Waste‑management and sanitation rules — requirements for garbage collection, segregation, recycling and commercial waste disposal; set by sanitation/public works departments.
10. Accessibility and parking requirements — minimum accessible entrances, ramps, restrooms and parking stall counts or dimensions; enforced by building codes and planning departments.

If you want examples targeted to a specific sector (construction, food business, events) or a particular city/country, tell me which and I’ll tailor the list.
