What to expect for bookings

You don't need the 70-foot, steel-roofed dream build to get started; most hosts list a simpler net-and-frame cage. A few sessions a week is a great start, and if you want more, a local permit usually sets a clear booking limit you can plan around.

This page is infrastructure, not legal advice.

CageList is not a law firm, and nothing on this page is legal advice. What you're reading is our best synthesis of publicly available state statutes, county and municipal codes, insurer and regulator guidance, and standard industry practice. We built it the same way we build everything else here: check the primary source, say plainly what we found, and flag what we didn't.

Zoning, permitting, insurance, and financing are all decided locally, one parcel and one policy at a time. Some of what's below is a verified rule, and some of it is a question only your city, your HOA, your insurer, your contractor, or your lender can actually answer.

One number we won't give you: what this will earn you. A backyard cage can be real supplemental income for the right property in the right place. It is not a mortgage payment, and we won't tell you it is.

Before you build, before you list, and before you take your first booking: call your local zoning office, read your HOA covenants yourself, and talk to a licensed insurance agent about your specific policy.
