What is an ADU ?
 An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a smaller, self-contained home that is built on the same property as a primary residence. ADUs are also known as in-law units, secondary units, or cottages.Â
  ADUs can be detached, attached, or converted from existing space in the primary residence. They typically range from 220 to 1,200 square feet and include a bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping area.Â
ADUs can provide many benefits, including:Â
- Housing: ADUs can provide housing for family members or caregivers. Â
- Rental income: Homeowners can rent out their ADUs. Â
- Affordability: ADUs are usually less expensive to build than a new home. Â
- Environmental friendliness: ADUs use existing infrastructure and housing stock. Â
