Zoning Question - House Hacking Palm Beach & Broward
I am looking to house hack my first investment property in Palm Beach or Broward county. I have been looking for small multifamily property or a single family house with a detached unit or mother in law suite.
I was about to make an offer on a single family home in Palm Beach county with a detached 1/1 unit (unit is a legal structure with permits). My realtor called the zoning office & they said after I moved out of the property, it would be considered an illegal rental if I had 2 separate lease agreements on the house & detached unit because the house is zoned single family. I had a very hard time believing this.
Is this true? Or did the zoning office employee misunderstand the question?
