GLOSSARY
Accessory Dwelling Unit
An accessory dwelling unit is a second, smaller dwelling on the same lot as a house, either inside it, attached to it or standing apart. In the records we hold the term also appears as an in-law suite or an accessory apartment.
Detail
About Accessory Dwelling Unit
Drawings for an accessory unit show its footprint and its distance from the main house, its own entrance, its kitchen and bath, and the utility connections that serve it. Scope is driven by whether the unit is carved out of existing space or built new, since a conversion reuses structure that a new build does not. Accessory dwelling unit records commonly appear with addition, garage and apartment headings.
