An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a secondary residential structure built on the same property as a primary home. ADUs are fully functional living spaces that include a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. Common types of ADUs include:
Detached ADUs: A standalone structure separate from the main home
Attached ADUs: An addition connected to the primary residence
Garage Conversion ADUs: Existing garages converted into livable space
ADUs are commonly used for rental income, guest housing, or long-term family living.
