What Is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, commonly called an ADU, is a smaller, fully functional residential living space built on the same property as an existing single-family home. Depending on local regulations, an ADU may include its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area, making it suitable for full-time occupancy.
Each city and county has different requirements regarding ADUs, including setbacks, maximum size, parking, and utility connections. That's why proper planning is essential before construction begins.

Planning Your ADU
Planning an ADU involves more than choosing a floor plan. Every project should begin with a clear understanding of your property's layout, local zoning requirements, available utilities, and long-term goals. Answering these questions early helps avoid delays during permitting and construction. Before designing your ADU, there are several important questions to answer:
Learn More - How much space do you need?
- Will the ADU be attached or detached?
- Will it include a kitchen and bathroom?
- Does your property meet local zoning requirements?
- What permits will be required?
- How will the new space connect to existing utilities?
