Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are small, secondary housing units that are located on the same lot as a single-family home. They can take various forms, including converted garages, basement apartments, or stand-alone structures. ADUs are designed to provide additional living space for family members, guests, or renters. To build an ADU, you typically need to comply with local zoning and building codes, including size and occupancy restrictions, and obtain necessary permits and approvals. It's important to research and understand the regulations and requirements in your area before starting the process of building an ADU.
