WHAT IS AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
(ADU)?
The unit is completely
separate from the primary
home. Great solution for
maintaining privacy for a
rental unit.
The unit is attached to the
primary home. Flexible
solution to expand the size of
your residence and add a
second unit.
Existing space is converted
into separate living space.
Transform an existing
secondary structure, e.g.,
garage.
