ADU Basics – What is an ADU and where do you start?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, sometimes referred to as a “granny flat” or “in-law suite”, is a small residence located on the same lot as a single family home. This housing type is allowed to be constructed as an attached or detached structure in many municipalities in the region. In the ADU Fact Sheet for Homeowners, you can find more information about the benefits of ADUs and factors to consider when deciding if one is right for you.
