Selling ADUs?

A homeowner asks about accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations, costs, and resale potential. Local rules impose no extra parking requirements and allow up to two stories, though taller structures are discouraged. Building a basic ADU starts around $200,000, but adding separate utility meters and other fees can push total costs toward $300,000. The author estimates this price range as the minimum needed to construct an ADU that could later be sold.
