What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a fully functional secondary home built on the same property as your primary residence. ADUs may be detached backyard cottages, in-law suites, standalone modular units, or private guest residences. 

When built as a modular home, an ADU is permanently installed on a foundation and constructed to the same building standards as a traditional home — offering long-term durability, efficiency, and value.
