Backyard houses, also known as additional dwelling units (ADUs), are self-contained, smaller living dwellings on the same lot of a single-family house. It is either attached to the main house, or it’s detached as a separate, standalone home. Typically, they are independent cottages or serve as guest houses.
Many communities have adopted exemptions, fee waivers, or fee reductions for a growing list of fees normally charged for residential development.
Some examples: impact fee exemptions, discounted building or planning fees, reduced sewer and water connection fees, reduction of design/development requirements such as parking spaces, reduction of development costs, allowed modification of dimensional requirements such as setbacks, building height, and lot coverage to make additional units possible.
This has been clearly documented by both public and private housing groups, showing the nature and the extent of this affordable housing crisis.
Backyard homes are an inexpensive way to provide the answers that homeowners seek for rental income, in-law spaces, granny flats, home offices, and so much more.
With many families facing the prospect of having to arrange care and housing for their aging or elderly parents, in-laws, and other relatives, secondary dwelling units offer a practical and affordable solution. A backyard house located on their own home’s property allows homeowners to care for their elderly family members in a semi-independent living arrangement.
