Also known as Granny Flats, Accessory Dwelling Units ( ADUs ) are independent second dwelling units on your property.
What is an ADU?
Also known as a Granny Flat or Backyard Home, an Accessory Dwelling Unit is an independent second dwelling unit on a property.
These units can be attached to an existing house or detached as a separate structure.
ADUs can be constructed on any lot zoned for residential use.
Backyard homes can be legally rented.
