TINY HOME ADUs

Accessory Dwelling Units

Accessory Dwelling Units, also known as ADUs are becoming increasingly popular with the public and accepted by municipalities. Sometimes referred to as granny flats or mother-in-law quarters, an ADU can be either an attached unit to an existing structure or a detached unit on the same property. We have had buyers use an ADU for a guest home, a disabled child, and even a source of rental income.

Snake River Tiny Homes has helped multiple homeowners place a park model tiny home on their property as a detached ADU. Buyers tell us tiny homes are significantly less expensive than a site-built structure, take less time to construct, and offer flexibility if they ever change their mind.

What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary, self contained living space on the same property as a primary residence. ADUs include essential amenities like a bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping area, providing extra space for family, rental income, or increase property value.

Snake River Tiny Homes has one or two bedroom park model tiny homes that can generally qualify as an ADU.

Detached ADUs

Park model tiny homes make great ADUs because they are affordable and move-in ready in a short period of time. Some local zoning codes require that the wheels be removed, placed on a foundation, and skirting attached. Be sure and check with your area to find out what the requirements are.

Other than placing the tiny home on a foundation (which can often be done by using concrete or other type of pier) the biggest consideration is electric, water, and sewer.

Why Tiny Home ADUs

Park model tiny homes are the perfect alternative to a conventional, or site-built ADU and are much more affordable.

The City of Hailey, Idaho for example, encourages tiny ADUs and "considers tiny homes on wheels to be accessory structures." To demonstrate their commitment to this option for affordable housing, the City even purchased a tiny home from our company to use by one of their employees.
