Hi all, i have a question on how to determine if a garage conversion is permitted. If the tax record shows the square footage of the garage as living space, does it mean its legal?

    Check with your local building department-you can ask the general question without giving an address.  They should be able to tell you, but I believe it is legal.  You should also be able to look up any permitted conversions on the property address thru your records department.  Good luck.

    Check the permits, @HJ Wang.
