Pinellas Park In-Law Suites Within the 600 Sq Ft Cap

A Pinellas Park ADU can never be sold apart from the house, and the deed restriction saying so is recorded before a parent can move in, so plan the unit as a permanent part of the property. The city allows one ADU on any single-family lot, capped at 600 square feet of air-conditioned space, with one extra off-street parking space.

Five short questions about who the space is for and what it needs to hold, then where to reach you. Most people finish in about a minute.

Question 1What are you thinking of building?

Pick the closest. If you are not sure yet, that is exactly what we help sort out.

Question 2Who will live in it?

This matters more than it sounds. In Florida the answer can change the property tax on what you build.

Question 3Does the new space need its own kitchen?

In Florida law a space with its own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom is a second dwelling, and each city and county decides whether one is allowed on your lot.

Question 4Is the house in a flood zone?

In a flood zone, a large enough addition can mean the whole house has to meet today's flood rules. Your insurance declarations page or the county flood map will say.

Question 5When does the space need to be ready?
About you, and the house the space would join

Who should we ask for?

How can we reach you?

We call to confirm the details before anyone is sent out.

Where is the property?

The contractor match is by property, not by person, so the street line matters.

Pinellas Park's deed restriction, parking space and 600 sq ft

Pinellas Park has its own building department and a short, clear ADU section. The cap is written in air-conditioned area, so ask the city early how it treats a porch or unconditioned storage attached to the unit. The parking space is the item most often missed on a narrow lot: find where it goes before the unit's footprint is fixed. The recorded deed restriction has to be in place before the certificate of occupancy, which puts it on the schedule rather than at the end. More than half the city's homes were built before 1980, so tying a new suite into older framing, wiring and plumbing is a normal part of the scope. The county's parent or grandparent tax reduction does not reach homesteads inside Pinellas Park.

Where would the extra car go?

Tell us how the Pinellas Park lot is laid out. The added parking space often decides where the unit can sit, so we settle that before a contractor visits.

One-bedroom suites and cottages arranged in Pinellas Park

In-Law Suite Additions

Add a bedroom, a bathroom and a sitting room onto the house so a parent can live with you and still close a door of their own, planned so the kitchen decision does not turn it into a second dwelling by accident.

Put a small, separate home in the backyard for a parent, close enough to help and far enough for their own front door, under the rules that actually govern the lot.

Pinellas Park permits one ADU on any single-family lot but caps its air-conditioned area at 600 square feet, requires one additional off-street parking space, and requires a recorded deed restriction prohibiting sale of the ADU separately from the main house before the certificate of occupancy (Sec. 18-1530.28).

Because the Pinellas County parent or grandparent reduction requires the property to be in unincorporated Pinellas County, homesteads inside St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, Dunedin, Seminole, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs and Oldsmar do not qualify under the county program as the Property Appraiser describes it.
