Convert garage into apartment

[Tyler Tiblier]

Thinking about converting a one car garage into a “mother in-law suite.” If done this way would I have to go through zoning commission? Has anyone ever done this? This is all for future reference because I just got this house and am planning on rehabing next year. Btw this is my first investment property. Got a 1,300 sq foot 3/2 house with a one car garage for 80k and appraised for 118k.
