Video Summary
How can we add an accessory dwelling unit to our property? Well, the first thing you must do is contact your local city or county building and land use department to see whether or not they allow you to add an ancillary unit. That would be the first step. Not all cities or counties allow this, and if they do, they set forth a requirements that you must meet, such as the setbacks and land size of the property, where it’s going to be located as far as using that. And whenever we have an accessory dwelling unit, that means a separate is different than a Mother-in-law apartment, that’s where you have a separate meter and a separate address. So the first stop is to check with the building and zoning department of your particular city or county to see whether or not you can pull a permit and then submit your plans for that if they do allow it and their site plan. If you have any questions about it, please give me a call at (727) 847-2288.
