What is a Legal Garden Suite?

A legal garden suite is a secondary, self-contained dwelling unit built on the same lot as a primary residence, often referred to as a backyard suite or accessory dwelling unit (ADU). These structures are designed to provide additional living space, either for rental purposes, extended family, or as a separate home office.

To be considered legal, garden suites must adhere to local zoning regulations, building codes, and land use policies. This typically includes obtaining necessary permits, meeting design standards, and ensuring compliance with safety and accessibility requirements. Legal garden suites are intended to enhance property value and address housing needs while maintaining the integrity of residential neighborhoods.
