Location is south Florida. Looking at a property which is a single
family residence, however the architect designed it such that it has
two different entrances, two driveways, two electric meters, but
they do share a common wall. It is one single lot zoned for single
family residence, a single folio number, but the lot is a corner
unit and has a street to the east and a street to the south. The
east facing unit has an address on the east street and the south
facing unit has a south facing address, so one house, two addresses,
how is this possible? And the current owner block off another
bedroom loft and rents it out as a third unit. So question is - is
this legal? Can I somehow establish a new address for the third
unit for rental? So it will have it's own mail box?

Only your local city/county/whatever jurisdiction can answer the
questions...

No. It's an issue for the post office. The post office doesn't talk to the
city planning commission and is indifferent to local zoning laws,
occupancy requirements, and other infringements on the use of your
property.

Try it out. Put up a mail box with the address of "1234 1/2" on the box
and mail yourself a letter.


At least where I'm at (MI), the post office has nothing to do with
designation of addresses. It is a local municipal function.
