Do I need an architect to build a gazebo in 2 family home?
You don’t need an architect but you definitely need to know the city rules and possibly a structural engineer.
No, but you need to have a plan drawn up and give that to the city.
Yes you do need an architect to design a gazebo- Miami Dade County
Depends upon the county/city authority involved. Each permitting department has it’s own rules and regulations. Generally, yes, you need a permit which involves structural diagrams and a survey to see if you are encroaching upon a setback area.
Before you spend money, call the building permitting office of the relevant authority - the one you pay real estate taxes to.
Yes. But you can go to home depot or Menards and tell them what you want to build and they will supply the blueprint and the material to take to the city and pull a permit
