@Ruchi Patel --The Green Card is handled by the NJ Dept. of Community Affairs (DCA), which is a state level agency.From a City standpoint, you'll have a number of hurdles, both zoning and building related.The property's zoning designation may not permit a 3-family use as of right (per the current zoning code), so in order for them to allow a conditional 3-family use, you'd need a variance.If they grant the variance (which is a process in and of itself), you will likely face challenges from a building standpoint as well as they may require you to bring certain elements of the building up to code (i.e., fire suppression / sprinkler system).

@Jared Watson, how do you manage the challenges with the City of Austin Permit and inspection system?

That individual might be more familiar with larger building codes and permitting needed for bigger renovations.  

I was in the process of renovating an old house and got shut down by the county for not having a building permit.

For anyone in Chicago, what kind of permits (if any) are necessary?

., @Marc Dupuis, @Jesse Hinaman,  @John Weidner A bit more info - I've had 3 roofers say that it would be cheaper to remove the second roof/attic than try to correct the framing/ fix the dry rot/ re - shingle and permit. 

I desperately need help...Has anyone ever submitted an application to Cook County for a Special Use/Unique Use permit?

Custodians are permitted to custody assets held in an IRA under IRC Section 408(n).

Building permits, fees for water, sewer, etc. come to around $50,000 on a house.

It also says lenders are "encouraged to permit an assumption of a real property loan at the existing contract rate or at a rate which is at or below the average between the contract and market rates..."
