Seattle ADU FAQ
How long does it take to get an ADU permit in Seattle?
Timelines vary based on the scope of your project and the city’s current review load, but most Seattle ADU and DADU permits take a few months from submission to approval. Our team handles zoning review, drawings, engineering, and SDCI communication for you, so you always know what stage your permit is in.
How much does an ADU or DADU cost in Seattle?
Costs depend on size, finishes, site conditions, and whether the unit is attached or detached. Most homeowners should plan for a six-figure investment for a fully permitted, turnkey ADU or DADU. During our feasibility and design phase, we provide a detailed, line-item estimate so there are no surprises.
What is the maximum size for an ADU in Seattle?
Seattle allows a range of ADU and DADU sizes depending on your zoning, lot size, and whether the unit is attached or detached. In many cases, detached ADUs can go up to around 1,000 square feet, but the exact limit is determined by your property’s zoning and lot coverage rules. We verify all size and setback limits as part of our feasibility study.
Do I need off-street parking for an ADU in Seattle?
In many Seattle neighborhoods, an additional off-street parking space is not required for an ADU, especially in areas with good transit access. The details depend on your specific zoning and location. We’ll review the applicable parking standards for your property and include them in your design and permit set.
Can I convert my existing garage or basement into an ADU?
Yes. Many homeowners in Seattle create attached ADUs by converting basements or existing garages. These projects still need to meet structural, life-safety, energy, and egress requirements, and typically require new plans and permits. We evaluate your existing structure to see what is feasible and what upgrades are needed.
Will adding an ADU increase my property value?
In most cases, a well-designed, fully permitted ADU or DADU adds significant value to your property by creating flexible, rentable, or multi-generational space. Many owners use ADUs for long-term rentals, guest suites, or home offices, which can help offset the cost of construction over time.
What is your process for designing and building an ADU?
Our design–build process includes a feasibility study, architectural design, structural engineering, permit submission and revisions, and full construction management through final inspection. We handle the coordination with the city and keep you updated at each milestone so you always know what’s next.
