California ADU Information

Introduction to ADUs

ADUs are known by many names — including accessory dwelling units, second units, in-law units, granny flats, backyard homes, and casitas. But, no matter what you call them, these are homes located on the same piece of property as another home.

ADUs are a great way for homeowners to add to California’s housing supply, house a caretaker or family member, and earn rental income. Plus, the California State Legislature recently passed legislation to make it easier than ever to build an ADU on your property.
