ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. It's a secondary, independent living space on an existing single-family property. ADUs are a versatile solution for homeowners in Nevada looking to increase housing density.
ADU size limits in Nevada are typically set by local zoning ordinances. Many jurisdictions allow ADUs up to a certain square footage or a percentage of the main house size. North Las Vegas and Reno have specific guidelines to follow.
