How to subdivide land?

[Lindsay West]

I want to know how easy is it to subdivide land so I can build a SF new construction on the land. I’m using a hard money loan to finance the deal. The land already has one single family home on it but could easily fit two. Anybody have luck with this? We are in Atlanta, Ga.

Start with your local building and zoning dept., go down in person. They usually have someone that can give you the requirements for your particular property.....minim lot sizes, set back requirements, etc. If it looks feasible they can tell you the process to go through.
