Anybody familar with zoning laws i want to.turn the pool house into a 2 -1

I recently purchased a property that includes a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom main house and a pool house that can be converted into a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit. The pool house is equipped with outlets for electrical appliances, a stove, a refrigerator, and has a bathroom with a shower.

The issue I am facing is that the property is zoned for residential use only, and I am interested in renting out both the main house and the pool house as separate units. I contacted the power company, and they directed me to the tax assessor's office to inquire about obtaining a separate address for the pool house. However, I was informed that the property is zoned as residential, and I need advice on how to proceed.

Are there any legal or regulatory ways to overcome this zoning restriction? Could you provide any solutions or guidance on how I can legally rent out both units on the property?

Thank you for your assistance.

@Najeh Davenport

No one can answer this question as you don’t list city, state, county, zoning. Zoning class etc

Why not pick up a phone and call the county? Any revisions need their approval anyways
