Can I sell my Cumming house with an unpermitted basement apartment, and does the new legalization pilot help me?

Georgia towns like Cumming do not run a basement apartment legalization pilot program, so there is no such process to apply for here; that kind of pilot exists in certain northern cities, not North Metro Atlanta. You can still sell a house with an unpermitted basement apartment, but you must disclose it, and Joel Boss recommends pulling county permit records before listing so surprises do not surface during a buyer's inspection.
