Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a self-contained living space on the same property as a single-family home. It can be a detached backyard cottage, an attached apartment, or a basement ADU with its own entrance, kitchen, and bath.

Do I need a permit to build an ADU in Seattle?

Yes. A building permit and compliance with Seattle ADU regulations and zoning codes are required. Professional ADU contractors Seattle can guide you through the permitting and design process.

How long does it take to build an ADU?

Timelines vary. A basement ADU conversion may take 3–6 months, while a new backyard cottage Seattle project can take 6–12 months depending on design complexity and permitting.

Can an ADU be used as a rental unit?

Yes. Seattle allows homeowners to rent out their ADU or backyard cottage, creating long-term rental income or short-term guest accommodations, provided you follow city rental requirements.

Can you convert an unfinished basement into an ADU?

Absolutely. A basement ADU conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to create a private living space while maximizing existing square footage.
