What are ADUs
(Accessory Building Units)?
ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) also known as Backyard Cottages, Granny Units, or In-law Units. These are secondary small-footprint homes, completely independent, in the same lot.
ADU Homes are allowed in all cities in California and the law requires local jurisdictions to ease regulations to support the creation of new ADUs.
Why should you build an ADU?
