Turn 3 Bedroom house into 4 for Section 8 - Does this go on record

[DeAundra Dyson]

Hey all,

I have a house in Brandon/Tampa (Hillsborough County) and have been doing STR for about a year - and it's been a pain, especially with the last guests that trashed my place. I want to rent it out through section 8 and know I have enough space to turn my dining room into another bedroom (house is 2k sq ft).

When they come to inspect it, will they note there are 4 bedrooms? 

Do I need to contact the county appraiser or whoever after?

Does this raise taxes?

Should I see if my septic can handle it?

I'm new to this and would appreciate any insight/advice.
