Adding a Second Story to a Home in Fort Lauderdale

[Errol Sadler]

Hi BP community,

I’ve successfully added a second story to a home in Atlanta and am now exploring whether this is feasible in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience with this in the area. Are there specific zoning or structural challenges in Florida I should be aware of? If it’s possible, I’d love to connect with someone who has done it or knows the ins and outs of the process. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
