Permit-side questions we hear most. The FAQ goes deeper.
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.
One-bedroom plans land cleanly on most Austin lots. We can also adapt other sizes — talk to us about what you have in mind.
