What is an ADU in Utah?

Across Utah, your home may have room for a new chapter. An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, can help you make more of the property you already own. Think of a basement apartment, a garage conversion, or a small backyard home, with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living space. It could give family more independence, create long-term rental income, or give you a smaller place to call home. From Lehi and Orem to Salt Lake City, every property is different. Start with the lot, then explore designs, access, parking, utilities, and a realistic budget. City rules and permits can be complicated. Utah ADU Builder helps you explore possible paths and connect with independent partners who can guide your project. Request your free property review at utahadubuilder.com.
