How to find out if a garage was build legally
Hi there ,
I am considering one deal in the east side,a SFH and base on what I saw , I am starting to think that the garage was not originally build when the house was . So now I am in doubt if that garage has a legal Building permit on it . How can I find out this in Indianapolis ?
I looked at the propery card tax record , and certainly the garage is listed there . But it is really look like it was constructed afterward , and actually I do not think it was a great job.
I am actually really curious to find out how can I verify this things by myself. I think I read in some place that there is phone number in the city department that could Check this info by me on the phone, since is public records, but honestly I am a little bit lost in this . I hope some of the seasoned investors in Indy or agents , or anybody that know how to check this can help me out and let me know what’s the procedure, and share some tips on it
I would appreciate that a lot .
Thank you so much everyone,
