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.

Local Context

How Pasco's fee tiers apply to a Wesley Chapel suite

A suite with a kitchenette lets a parent keep their own routines, and in Wesley Chapel that choice brings a cost that is easy to miss. Florida defines an ADU by its separate kitchen, bathroom and sleeping area, and Wesley Chapel is unincorporated, so Pasco County's ADU rules and fee schedule apply. Under 500 square feet, the county charges no impact fees other than school. From 500 to 900 square feet, mobility and library fees are charged at reduced rates. Over 900, the full single-family impact fees apply. A few square feet can move a suite from one tier to the next.

Wesley Chapel's extended-family ADU and the Pasco reduction

Pasco's code says ADUs are intended in part to provide housing for extended families, and it allows up to 1,200 square feet of living space, smaller than the principal home, in any district that allows single-family homes. The size a family wants and the size that keeps fees down can be different numbers, so price both. Once the suite is finished and the final permit is in hand, Pasco's parent or grandparent reduction can be applied for between January 1 and March 1 on an existing homestead.

  1. Size against the 500 line

    Below 500 square feet only the school impact fee applies. Above it, mobility and library fees are added at reduced rates.

  2. Know the 900 line

    Above 900 square feet the full single-family impact fees apply.

  3. Keep the final permit

    Pasco's reduction application needs a copy of it, filed between January 1 and March 1.

Questions

Wesley Chapel suite and fee questions

Does a Wesley Chapel suite without a kitchen pay ADU impact fees?

The ADU fee tiers apply to accessory dwelling units, which Florida defines by a separate kitchen, bathroom and sleeping area. A bedroom and bath added to the house without a kitchen is an addition, so ask Pasco County how it assesses fees on that before relying on either figure.

Can our HOA stop a Wesley Chapel in-law suite?

Pasco's own ADU section warns that individual restrictive covenants may prohibit ADUs. Covenants are a private agreement separate from the county's rules, so read yours, or ask the association, before paying for plans.
