Converting a Family Room into a Bedroom (Florida)

Ryan F.

Posted

Those who are much more experienced, i’m seeking your wisdom.

I'm looking at a property in St. Petersburgh that is already zoned as a STR and has a history of positive reviews.

Good location but it’s only a 2 bed, 1 bath.

It has a second living room in the back of the house that is plenty large enough to convert to a 3rd bedroom which I believe will increase the STR potential, as the area has a lot of vacationers and families who would need a 3rd bedroom.

QUESTION; Is there any pitfalls in getting a permit to convert a 2nd living room into a bedroom that I don’t know about? Or is the building permit for such an endeavor fairly straight forward?
