Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Would you be so kind as to advise of the ramifications of building a workshop with the intention of having a disabled family member live there?
My deceased parents attempted to build a small home for my disabled sister. Unfortunately, the Sonoma County property located in Petaluma is legal but non-conforming. My parents chose to build a “workshop” with a full bathroom, kitchen, etc, making it a livable space for my sister.
If the County learned it’s being used as a dwelling, in what way would it affect my sister and myself? I, too, live on property in a separate home.
Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

They would either order you to make it conforming, get a variance, or demolish it. Which they would order would depend on the specifics of the situation.
