Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a home addition in Inverness?

Yes. Any addition over 64 square feet requires a City of Inverness or Citrus County building permit. We manage the entire permit process, including site plans, electrical, and plumbing approvals. Permits protect you and ensure your addition meets code and neighborhood standards.

Can I remodel my kitchen if I live in a gated community like Citrus Hills?

Yes, but you'll need homeowner association approval for exterior changes. Interior kitchen remodels are usually simpler. We coordinate with your HOA, submit plans if required, and ensure compliance before we begin work.

What if my lot is near the Withlacoochee Trail or other protected areas?

Environmental setbacks and conservation areas are carefully regulated in Citrus County. We survey your lot, research easements and restrictions, and work with county environmental staff to ensure your build respects these boundaries.

Can you build a custom home if I already own land?

Absolutely. We work with land you own. We'll survey it, assess soil and drainage, confirm zoning compliance, and design a home that fits your lot. This often saves cost and lets you choose your exact location in Inverness Heights or Citrus Hills.

What about in-law suites—are they allowed in my area?

It depends on your lot size, zoning, and HOA rules. Some Inverness areas allow attached in-law suites; others require separate accessory dwelling units. We review your specific property and recommend what's legal and practical.

Do you work with homeowners who are relocating to Inverness?

Yes. Many families move to Inverness for the quiet, tree-filled neighborhoods and outdoor recreation. We help you find land, design your home, and navigate local permitting—even if you're relocating from out of state.
