Utah Legislature Update

The Utah Legislature passed a state wide law that made Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that are internal or attached to a single family dwelling permitted uses. This law goes into effect on October 1, 2021. The current processing time for a conditional use is in excess of 90 days. Therefore, if you are interested in establishing an internal ADU on your property, you will only be required to obtain the proper building permit provided the ADU will not be occupied as a rental unit prior to October 1, 2021. Any previously approved conditional use for an internal ADU will be considered a permitted use on October 1, 2021

Accessory Dwelling Units Handbook

We have designed a handbook for property owners who are interested in building an Accessory Dwelling Unit on a lot that has an existing single-family home. Our goal is to help you get started and prepare you with the basic information you need to start your process!

Accessory Dwelling Units Handbook 

This guide provides you with general information including: eligibility, ADU configurations, application process, commonly used terms, frequently asked questions, and resources.
