GETTING STARTED

What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on the same property as your main residence. Think of it as a smaller, independent home that shares the land with your larger house.


In Jacksonville, ADUs can be a tiny house in the backyard, an apartment over a garage, or a converted basement. These units have their own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, making them fully functional homes. Under Jacksonville zoning, ADUs must be positioned behind the main home and match your house's architectural style, with a maximum size of 750 sq ft or 25% of your main home (whichever is smaller).



ADUs are a smart way to utilize property space effectively. They can provide private living areas for family members, generate rental income in Jacksonville's growing market, or offer guest accommodations. With the 2022 City Council ordinance expanding where ADUs can be built throughout Duval County, they've become increasingly popular for Jacksonville homeowners.

BENEFITS OF ADU

Uses for ADUs in Jacksonville, FL

  • Rental Income Opportunity

    ADUs are an excellent way to generate additional income. With Jacksonville's thriving tourist industry, converting your ADU into a short-term rental property, like an Airbnb, can be a lucrative venture. It offers guests a private and cozy space, and you benefit from the extra income.

  • In-Law Suite

    An ADU provides the perfect solution for multigenerational living. It allows aging parents or in-laws to live close by while maintaining their independence. These units can be designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring comfort and safety for your loved ones.

  • Home Office or Studio

    As remote work becomes increasingly common, an ADU can serve as a dedicated home office or creative studio. This separate space ensures a quiet, distraction-free environment, ideal for productivity and creativity.

  • Guest House

    Provide your guests with a comfortable and private space during their stay. An ADU can be a charming guest house, offering all the amenities needed for a pleasant visit, and it's especially useful during holidays or family gatherings.

  • Hobby or Recreational Space

    Transform an ADU into a personal retreat — a place for hobbies, exercise, or relaxation. Whether it's a home gym, an art studio, or a gaming lounge, an ADU can be customized to suit your recreational pursuits.

  • Rental Space for Students or Professionals

    Given Jacksonville's proximity to colleges and business hubs, ADUs can be rented out to students or working professionals looking for affordable and convenient living options.
