My son and daughter-in-law live in Orlando, but are looking at buying a house in the Apopka area. It needs some minor sprucing up, paint, etc., and has a separate apartment/in-laws qtrs. The question I have is around zoning regs. It has a large 3-car carport/shed that is enclosed on 3 sides, and they would like to enclose that into a garage, and add a screened patio to the rear of the house if they buy it. Would a permit be required for this project? I and one of my electrician riding buds and our wives would come down and do the work for them for the use the apt. I've done some surfing for zoning regs, but haven't found much info yet. Any help with this is appreciated.
