General notes
Questions about this space in this town.
N1 Is the flood test 49 or 50 percent in Wesley Chapel?
Unincorporated Pasco's code says 49 percent. Confirm the scope for your address with the county.
N2 Do I need approval from my community?
Possibly. Read your deed documents and ask the association in writing before you draw plans.
N3 Will the county's parent reduction cover my suite?
Only if the new space is quarters for a parent or grandparent of 62 or more. A suite for yourself is not.
N4 How do I know a contractor holds a Florida license?
Look the license up on the state's public search before you sign. We do not vouch for any contractor.
This fits when
Signs this suits your Wesley Chapel home
- An upstairs bedroom in a two-story home Every bedroom may be on the second floor, and you are ready for a change that lets you sleep near the kitchen.
- A growing family and a changing body The house suits the children, and a suite below would serve you better as the years go on.
- A parent in the house Your mother lives with you and needs the downstairs bedroom, so you want a new primary suite on the main floor for yourself.
- A plan to stay put You have chosen the neighborhood and the schools, and you will keep the house for decades.
The 49 percent line in unincorporated Pasco
Unincorporated Pasco County's local amendment to the Florida Building Code sets substantial improvement at work costing 49 percent or more of the structure's market value. That is a point lower than the federal 50 percent figure.
Confirm the scope for your address with the county's building office. Then send us your parcel number and we will help you find your structure value, so you can set it beside the cost of the suite.
Do not wait for the final drawing to do this. A one-page comparison done in the first week keeps you from falling in love with a plan that costs too much of the house's value.
If the numbers look tight, ask which parts of the suite do the most work for you. A walk-in shower and a wide door may matter more than a sitting room, and they can often be priced as separate items.
A newer house leaves you with fewer surprises
The median home in Wesley Chapel dates from 2006. Newer houses often have newer wiring and plumbing, though your contractor will have to check yours. You are less likely to meet a mystery behind the wall.
OpenFEMA lists 243 claims from the Wesley Chapel postal area since 1978. Ask where your lot sits on the flood map before you choose which side of the house gets the new rooms.
Tell the contractor about any pond, drainage easement or slope on your lot. Those features shape where a slab can go more than the floor plan does.
Bring a copy of your lot survey if you have one. It shows easements and setbacks that a contractor will otherwise have to find by phone, and it speeds up your first meeting.
Covenants, and who signs off on the outside of your house
A new wing changes the look of the house from the street. Your community may have its own say on that, and Pasco County warns that private covenants can restrict extra buildings.
Gather your deed documents and send us the sections on exterior changes. Ask the association for written approval before the contractor starts drawing, and keep the reply with your plans.
If you are the adult child helping a parent, read the covenant aloud together. A clause that sounds harmless, such as a color list, can decide what your parent can live with.
Remember also that you own the plan. If a covenant forces a change you dislike, you are allowed to pick another site on the lot, a smaller suite or a different contractor.
