But consulting with the town would be good to try to understand what they're permitting process is like.

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

It adds extra protection for your assets.

Do an assessment of value now and after you get the ADU permitted * We have been in situations where $8k for permits could mean an extra $100k in value or $2k per month in rents. 

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

Chris, you’re on the right track asking about permit timelines..

It’s all about what will draw guests in and make them choose your listing over others.2️⃣ Standout Amenities: Rentals that offer something extra, like a hot tub, game room, or eye-catching design, often attract more bookings and higher rates.

Had an issue with trying to self-permit a build a few years back that was an HPR but had an "A" and "B" designation.

Anyways, on my latest project, the title came back yesterday and revealed two extra parcels of land deeded to the seller under the property I was under contract for.

Hi @Carlos Rodrigues,Realistically, it's unlikely that sellers will get permits while in escrow.
