Subdividing a Property in Kitsap County

[Travis Toler]

I am currently looking into a property that is a little above market value for the home. However with it comes 2.5 acres and about 2 acres uncleared land. The home itself I could rent out while getting land cleared. I looked into the county zoning codes and found that I could subdivide it and potentially build 4 homes on the remaining acreage. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what this entails. I also found out through the county that within the next 5 years they will be changing the zoning laws for the area to multi-family. So could potentially be blue to build duplexes as well. Any advice on how to calculate costs or estimate what this could cost?
