This service is provided to help you apply for a Accessory Family Unit
I work by the hour to help you with:
- Square footage

The cost of design drawings are not included with this service and are done later after you receive approval.
I have minimum fee and a retainer is required to start the process listed under Terms and Rates.
I may be able to get your existing plans if your home was built in St Johns County and less than 10 years old.
