The SUPER-MYSTERIOUS process of adding a unit to your property

[Juan Diaz]

Hi All,

Today I’m here to reveal the SUPER-MYSTERIOUS way to add units to your property (if you’re trying to make it a legal unit on tax records). Since the topic had come up elsewhere, I thought I’d lift the veil on this mysterious process. So here we go:

• 1.Go down to the zoning/planning office that has jurisdiction. Ask them how to get approval for adding a unit to your property.
• 2.Once you have approval from zoning/planning, go on to building department (if necessary) to pull permits for any necessary changes for the change in units.
• 3.Do the work on the permits
• 4.Get them inspected & pass inspection.
• 5.Voila! You just added a unit on to your property.

That wasn’t so bad, now was it? It might take a while (*cough* zoning/planning *cough*), but it’s actually a pretty easy process.
