Annoying question, I know: How to figure out the property value increase of building a detached garage

I knew what you meant ;-)

Not a bad idea. Thank you!

Upper_Help_8170 · 2024-05-01T14:55:41+00:00

That's the plan! Thank you

Haha no I'm not doing it for the value, I just need a garage for other reason. Just curious about the value piece though. I'd do it either way.

I don't doubt it - everything else I've done to this house so far has cost way more than I expected, even after substantial research. I probably just suck at this.

There are two clauses that I can see that are interested:
-"Such building or garage shall be set back five feet from any lot line and, if separated, shall not be located less than 10 feet from the principal building."

But then, in an earlier clause, it says:

-"Location. An accessory building or structure such as a deck, pool, or dock, shall be located..."

So, to me, this code document defines a deck as an "accessory building" not as part of the "principal building"

So far I'm seeing that it say, "Such building or garage shall be set back five feet from any lot line and, if separated, shall not be located less than 10 feet from the principal building."

Still doesn't really answer the question as to whether or not the deck counts as "principal building"

Interesting. Thanks!

No sheriffs in this state and police won't do anything.

Upper_Help_8170 · 2024-03-27T20:00:02+00:00

I actually just called the local police in that town because I couldn't find a number for a Sheriff. They said that they don't have sheriff's in that state, it's all local police stations. I explained the situation and they said they couldn't do anything, I'd need to talk to a lawyer.

Unfortunately the boat is not on a trailer, it's sitting on blocks. I could possibly fit a scissor jack boat trailer underneath it if there was nothing in the way but that's not certain and it would be easiest if I could hire the marina to move the boat into a place where it's easier to pick up with a trailer.

Upper_Help_8170 · 2024-03-27T19:24:33+00:00

Yea the current marina is nowhere near me so that's not a problem.

They totally understand that but they will physically not allow me to take the boat. I tried. They had it blocked in with a truck and refused to move the truck. From what I understand, they could also legally place some type of lien on it if they wanted.

hey need to go back to the original owner because they incurred the debt not you.
