What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary living space. It exists on the same lot as a primary house. These units can be attached to the main home. It can be a garage apartment or a basement conversion, or a detached structure like a tiny house on wheels or a standalone in-law suite. ADUs can range in size from small, compact units like Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) to more spacious detached new-construction ADUs.

• Affordable Housing. ADUs provide an affordable alternative for renters or family members in need of independent living spaces.
• Extra Income. Homeowners can earn extra income by renting out their ADUs. It makes a profitable investment.
