Converting Garage to ADU

[Keaton Lynn]

Hey everyone, I’m looking to see if anyone has experience converting a large detached garage to an ADU Dwelling (in-law suite, granny suite, etc.) Has this strategy worked for an additional rental unit or forced appriecatIon to justIfy the costs? Most estImates onlIne for pre-exIstIng structures are around 15k-40k for an entire remodel. Additionally, city zoning allows for one additional unit of an existing structure, so long as it doesn’t contain a stove or oven and matches the SFH it shares the parcel with. Are they any permitting laws that am I missing with this type of rehab? Thanks for any help!
