I purchased a multi family flat and we'd like to get converted to a single family residence. Does the house need to be rezoned, or just new plans and permits?

Thank you!
It's exciting to see so many people getting into remodeling and repurposing properties, especially when it comes to converting duplexes into single-family homes. I think you’re on the right track with your question about zoning and permits, as this can sometimes be a confusing topic. You might want to visit the site https://casoolas.net/ to gather more insights into local regulations and experiences from others who’ve been through similar situations. Remember, even small changes can require permits, and getting the right information ahead of time can save you a lot of headaches down the road. Good luck with your project!
Hi Melissa,
You often don't need to rezone when you "downzone", especially if it's a duplex to a single-family, but I would contact BSEED to be sure. https://detroitmi.gov/departments/buildings-safety-engineering-and-environmental-department
