Bought a house with 3 bedrooms andthere were four what do I do?

[Leland James]

Hello bigger pockets! Recently bought a property with 3 bedrooms and it has 4 bedrooms. Its on the mls etc as a 3 bedroom. Here’s the thing the “extra bedroom” is quite smaller compared to the others and doesn’t have electrical outlets on the wall. It does have a window that I assume is e-gress.

Wondering.. do I need to get any permitting or anything to add electrical to the room, flooring, closet, and make a small room? What are the requirements? Process? Hoping no permitting required.

@Leland James in California bedroom must have a closet. If not it's an office or den. Rooms must have outlets, within 6ft of door then every 12 running ft. Usually adding wiring requires permit. As builts at building dept help you know original build on house.
