since as part of the project you are going to need an architect and civil engineer, I recommend starting with them and ask them who they have worked with for zoning.

Inspections are typically done by licensed professionals like structural engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors.

If.a general inspector sees something of concern they will then recommend a structural engineer review the property. 

I think it will also high effect search engine rankings. 

I’ve even had structural engineers say that a deck or other structure should have fallen down as well, according to their calculations.

My hunch is that's $85K for the garage itself before plans, permits, engineering, sewer line, electrical panel, etc. 

I'm Apa (25) and I work in Orange County, California as a Research Engineer.

Prompt engineering is an art.

I'm not an attorney or expert in AP specifically, but do have a working knowledge of it for Civil engineering/survey work and have had two projects where this came up and I was able to 'ride along' and see how it unfolded.First, if you 'know' the property has been taken by AP then there's nothing for you to do with the tax assessor etc.

An engineering backed modeling study might be good for this type of property.
