Building Permits in Burlington

[Lindsay Damici]

I am looking for a Duplex in Burlington, VT and am finding properties hard to come by. I was wondering if anyone had any experience converting a single family home into a duplex or getting permits for duplex conversion or adding/converting a garage/separate apartment on their land.

Is obtaining these permits and the costs associated with them not worth the hassle? I am curious in case I find a good deal on a single family home that has potential for conversion or addition.

Mostly curious at this point - thank you,

Lindsay

@Blair Knowles I did go see that one - bedrooms are pretty small - especially for the price in my opinion. I haven't 100% counted it out, but for the price I would need a roommate for make the numbers work and with that small of a bedroom it would be hard to do. Upstairs converted attic bedroom is pretty cool though.
