Legalizing a driveway / add garage
« on: October 16, 2019, 09:15:26 AM »
If anyone here went through the process of legalizing an illegal driveway / curb cut, and/or adding a garage to the front of their house, please PM me or post here...
Thanks
(Thinking of buying a house which has an illegal driveway, and want to know what it entails...)

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
