Questions homeowners ask
A few useful answers.
Can every home have an ADU?
No. Local zoning, lot conditions, utilities, access, and building rules determine what may be possible.
Can an ADU be used as a rental?
That depends on local rules and the design. Confirm permitted use before planning around rental income.
Is an in-law suite the same as an ADU?
They can overlap, but an ADU usually means a separate living space with its own kitchen, bath, and entrance. Local definitions vary.
Should I start with design or zoning?
A basic feasibility and zoning review is a smart first step. It helps keep early design ideas grounded in what the property can support.
