Frequently Asked Questions

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit located on the same property as a primary residence. ADUs can take various forms, including converted garages, additions, or standalone structures, and are typically used as rental units, guest houses, or additional living space for family members.

ADUs offer numerous benefits for homeowners, including increased property value, additional rental income, flexible living arrangements, and the ability to accommodate multi-generational households. Additionally, ADUs can provide a solution to the affordable housing crisis by increasing housing stock without requiring additional land.
