WHAT IS AN ADU (CASITA)?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)

Also known as a casita, guest house, or in-law suite—is a small, self-contained home built on the same property as a main residence.  


ADUs include

Everything needed for independent living: a bedroom or studio layout, kitchen, bathroom, and private entrance.  

ADUs offer

Smart & flexible way to expand your living space or generate extra income—without the cost of buying new land.  

Types of adus

DETACHED ADU

  A free-standing unit in your backyard, completely separate from your main home. Ideal for guest houses or rental units.  

ATTACHED ADU

  A unit connected to your existing house, such as a home addition or garage conversion, with a private entrance and full amenities.  

INTERIOR CONVERSION

 Transform your basement, attic, or unused interior space into a fully functional unit. 

No matter the size of your lot, there's an ADU solution that fits your needs and lifestyle.

ARIZONA ADU LAW (HB 2720): A New Era for Homeowners

Legal updates that work in your favor


  “Live in Phoenix? You’re Eligible!” 

 HB 2720 now makes ADUs easier to build 


Legal Overview

House Bill 2720 (HB 2720) was signed into law in May 2024 and is now in effect.
This statewide legislation makes it easier than ever for homeowners in qualifying cities—

including Phoenix—to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) without needing rezoning.
