There are several things to consider before buying a wind turbine. First, make sure there is enough wind available at your site. Second, make sure you contact your city to find out if you can have one in your area. Contact your local environment department to see if you can receive any grants to help out with the finances.

Have a tower to place it on, high enough to catch the wind. Have sufficient wiring to connect it to your home and alternate power when it doesn't run.

Verify that your city allows you to put one up. Confirm that you can get enough wind to run it and that neighbors do not interfere with the wind flow.

First and foremost, you should check neighborhood restrictions on external structures like wind turbines. As these are uncommon, you should look towards similar structures, like amateur radio antenna and similar restrictions. You should also take city and county zoning restrictions into consideration as well. Once these legal hurdles have been cleaned, the next stop is your local utility's policies.
