Experience converting a single family home to a duplex?

[Kevin Cullen]

Hi y'all! Does anyone out there have experience converting a single family home into a duplex in Columbus? I'm a bit clueless on how that process works as it pertains to permitting/zoning/etc., but I'm intrigued by a few possibilities. I would love to connect and chat with anyone who has gone through a similar rehab/conversion!

Make sure you go through the avenues to do this correctly. I have experience turning an unpermitted duplex/triplex back into a SFR and as you might guess, a lot of problems popped up. If the layout works and the city approves your plans, it could be worth exploring! The city will most likely make you have separate meters for utilities and multiple egress for each unit, as well as local regulations as well. Make sure you find a licensed GC to complete this.
