What is an ADU? An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is an independent home built on the same property as a main house. It can be used for family, guests, or rental income—and has its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance.

Detached ADU

A detached ADU is a building on your property that is separate from the main house, typically built in the backyard.

Attached ADU

An attached ADU is an addition to your existing house. It can be attached on the side, back, or above.

Please note: Based on your property's jurisdiction, certain ADU types may not be allowed.  Please reach out to us or your local jurisdiction to confirm what ADU types are available to you.
