Converting a Single Family Home into a Duplex? (Fort Worth, TX)

[Igor Lalosevic]

Hello BP :-) 

Has anyone gone through a process of converting a SFH into a Duplex or vice-versa?

I am interested in how long the process took, what kind of paperwork did you have to file with the city? 

Was there any other party you had to deal with (Like neighborhood community or something like that)?

I am currently closing on a house in Fort Worth and I think it has great potential to become 2 units. 

Thank you for your time!
