The most-asked questions on multigenerational ADU builds.
In Austin, adus are limited to 0.15 FAR (ratio of the floor area of your structure as compared to the size of your lot) or 1100 square feet, whichever is smaller. For instance, if you had a 5000sf lot, your adu would be limited to 750 square feet or smaller.
In Austin, all residential structures are limited to 32' in height, as measured from the grade to the midpoint of the roof. In practice, though, they are typically limited to two stories.
The adu will need to be a minimum of 10'-0" from the main structure.
Single-story one-bedroom plans tend to fit best. We can adapt features like wider doors, walk-in showers, and grab-bar blocking during design.
