What's an ADU?

Accessory dwelling units — also known as in-law units or "granny flats" are a type of secondary housing that is built next to a primary residence. These structures may offer homeowners a variety of uses — serving as guest homes, lodging for friends and family, and as rental units.

 

The workshop will cover how homeowners can build out an ADU to address their needs and even generate income. Other topics will include zoning regulations, building codes, financing options, and permitting.
