Bought a duplex in a single family zone

Diego Saavedra

Hello friends.

This is the first property I've purchased to rehab. I am a new investor.

I purchased a duplex in Decatur, Ga 2022. I remodeled Unit A and am now starting to remodel Unit B.

As I'm looking to get an electrical permit for Unit B, I've noticed that the duplex sits on an R-75 residential zone that is for single family homes and does not allow for multi family dwellings. The property I bought indeed was a single family converted to multifamily.

I am concerned as I am not sure what's to come.

How easy and costly would it be to possibly ask for a permit to rezone this lot that already has a duplex sitting on it? Does anyone have any experience in such cases? Thanks
