My partner currently has an 80 lot RV park in the permitting phase and it's one of the last RV parks allowed in the Lake Charles area. 

When do you need to pull electrical permits in jersey city?

My lender checked the title and discovered the third unit converted garage was not permitted.

I do not know anything at all about Florida building, but just so you know, in some states like California if you leave up one wall or some part of the original structure it is counted as a rebuild and the permit costs and property taxes are a lot less. 

I’m not big on the placement of the small house without the necessary permitting process; but a lot depends on the municipal authority in question.

I wanted added a front porch, however, I don't want to get a permit and go through that process as I really want to get in an out of this project without getting the city/architects involved.So far it will have a light gray paint and a new wooden fence but I still think it looks plain and won't appeal to a millenial buyer?

I've even recreated the property calculators on Excel to help analyze deals currently on the market.

When I retire, I may have to do another remodel/renovation to this beach town house possibly.I am torn between whether I should spend more money now and add more square footage and do it up really nicely or should I just fix the code violations and pull permits or remove unpermitted structures and be done with it for now?

Our city says OWNERS are  require to have a business license, and pay a 10% tax on rentals, and a short term vacation rental permit.

If you've done it before (specially in the Bay Area), please shed some light on detail cost and time line please.Now, I think I have 3 options:1) Originally plan: split into 2 lots,  - remodel front house to build a big house (~3000 sqft) for front lot   - build new one (~3000-3500 sqft) in back lot2) Split into 2 lots (same as option 1): - build a smaller house (~1800-2200 sqft); build an ADU ~700 sqft for front lot - build 3 townhouses in the back lot ranging from 1500-2000 sqft3) Keep the whole lot, build 5 town houses ranging from 1700-2200 sqft I'm leaning toward option 2 for a couple of reasons:- Quicker turn around: much quicker to get plans drawn up & get building permits for- Can split into 2 phases: front lot, back lot- Lower cost for phase one (front lot) - Easier to sell- If I want to hold it instead of sell, 2 types of properties (SFH & town houses) is probably more preferable than just 5 town houses.Opinion, advice are welcome please!
