What are Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)?
ADUs are self-contained, smaller living units that are located on the lot of an existing single-family home. There are several types of ADUs, Attached ADUs (converted garages), Detached ADUs (Carriage Houses) or Repurposed ADUs (finished basements).
Requirements for ADUs
Specific laws and guidelines govern ADUs, and the laws can vary based on municipality. Two major requirements for ADUs are: 1) the structure must be fewer than 1,200 square feet; 2) the property owner must reside in either the main residence or the ADU.
