I have never pulled a permit for a water heater swap, know no one that has ever pulled a permit for a water heater swap, ever seen or heard about one getting red tagged for no permit, and have never had a plumber recommend getting a permit.

In my area if you are putting up interior walls permit is not required.

What are the permitting considerations to add more bedrooms and change the use of garage?

For non-primary residences, they have to follow all of the following rules to receive a permit: - the property must be a minimum of one (1) acre in size (designed as a precaution to disturbances)- The building standards of the underlying zone district must be met - Adequate parking is provided - Defensible Space requirements are met - Valid water and sanitation must be demonstrated - No more than five (5) bedrooms are in the dwelling As time goes on, they continue to become more strict on the rules listed above here, and are actively regulating it.

The last you want to do is make an enemy of the firemarshall as they could permanently pull your permit to be able to rent at all.

Hi All,I am looking to convert the basement into an ADU hence I will need to interact with local authority in order to obtain the building permit.

My concern is whether the city could deny permits for these modifications, such as removing walls or converting a garage, or if they are mainly just concerned with safety and habitability.

I had one short term rental that was granted a permit earlier this year and I have been operating it for months now as an STR.

The non-permitted unit is causing some troubles in getting this deal to move forward.
