ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
ADUPRIMARY
Some properties have both a primary unit and a secondary unit, called
an accessory dwelling unit. A primary unit is the main unit on a
residential property. An accessory dwelling unit is an independent
residence with its own entrance and exit, a fully functioning kitchen and
bathroom, and is smaller than the primary unit.
They can be inside the primary residence (for example, a basement
apartment). They can be attached to the primary residence (for example,
a converted attached garage apartment). They can be detached, but still
on the same property as the primary residence (for example, a guest
home or tiny home).
Is this housing unit considered a primary residential unit or an
accessory dwelling unit?
Include rooms rented out if they have a bathroom and kitchen facilities,
and direct access from the outside (i.e., a large basement room).
