ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Constructive Conversations with Tatiana, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood, and often costly, regulations in construction: the 50% Rule.
If you’re planning a renovation, addition, or repair, this is the rule that can completely shift your project from a simple update to a full compliance upgrade. Tatiana explains what the 50% Rule actually means, how it’s calculated, and why property value, not construction cost, is what really matters.
We dive into:
- When the 50% Rule is triggered
- How it impacts remodels, especially in coastal and flood-prone areas
- What happens once you cross that threshold
- Common mistakes that lead to unexpected delays and costs
- How to plan ahead and avoid getting caught off guard
Whether you’re a contractor, homeowner, or developer, understanding this rule is critical before you submit plans or start construction.
Because in permitting, it’s not just about what you’re building, it’s about how the system evaluates it.
