Tallahassee possesses its own set of rules and laws about the sizes and types of garage that you can build which will be determined by your neighborhood and the size of the lot you own. Of course, the larger the lot, the larger your garage can be.
Before you build your garage, you and your garage builder will need to produce thorough design plans to the City of Tallahassee for review. Once your plans are reviewed and approved, you will be issued your new building permits and be allowed to commence construction on your new garage.
On a side note, it is also important that you consult with your homeowner’s association if your property is governed by one. Failing to get approval from the board could result in very costly fines and liens being placed on your property.
While not the largest of cities, Tallahassee enjoys a certain renown as the state capitol of Florida and as home to two of the state’s largest universities. The city endures summers that are normally hotter than the rest of the state and the sea breeze that blow in brings a lot salt.
Both make excellent reasons for housing a vehicle in an enclosed garage. There are other reasons to add one to your Tallahassee home, however, and all of them add tremendous resale value to a home.
Here are just a few of them:
Rental space – Building up instead of out is a great way to add interior space to garage without impinging on the backyard. If you go to the trouble of creating a apartment in the space, it will also add monthly rental income and a significant boost to the overall value to the house.
The two largest universities in Tallahassee combine to educate over 50,000 students. This single fact means that the “garage apartment” leasing market remains quite robust year after year.
Office Space – As the capitol of the state, Tallahassee is home to innumerable offices for government agencies, lobbyists and anyone else who sees dollar signs in political largesse.
This fact means that commercial office space for the average consumer is fairly expensive. In many cases, a burgeoning entrepreneur might find it more affordable to create an office space in his garage than to rent a high-priced downtown office space.
Entertainment space – While daytime temperatures in the summer can be somewhat uncomfortable, the evenings offer an excellent opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in Tallahassee if you have a space for doing so.
Consider adding an screen-enclosed outdoor entertaining space that will protect you from the worst ravages of the ever present bugs but also allows you to enjoy the night air. A glass ceiling will also provide fantastic views of the night sky.
Hothouse space – Plant life does enjoys the hot and wet weather of the Tallahassee and the surrounding Leon County area. You need only look out any window of your home to see lush foliage. Still, winter does come and temperatures can easily and regularly drop into the 40°F range with cold snaps of 20°F possible.
A hothouse that protects your valuable succulents and other warmth-loving plants is a necessity for any serious gardener.
On average, building a garage addition onto your Tallahassee property can cost you up to $25,000. In the end, that number could end up being significantly greater or lesser depending on a number of different factors. It will all depend on what is most important to you.
For example, if you plan on using a large portion of your garage as a work space, you may want to consider investing more into materials in order to make your garage a more comfortable space with nicer finishes.
Or if you simply want a small space to be able to store your car and won’t be using your garage for anything else, you can probably get away with spending a great deal less on the construction.
