Help Make it Easier to Build ADUs - Property Owners

Please share your insights on how to make it easier and less costly to construct Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Tacoma!

An ADU is a second, smaller dwelling unit located on the same lot as (and either attached or detached to) a single-family dwelling. The City of Tacoma is promoting ADUs as a way to increase housing affordability and choice. For more information, visit www.tacomapermits.org/accessory-dwelling-units.

We are seeking input from people interested in, or in the process of, building an ADU, as well as from building professionals such as architects and developers.

This 3 to 5 minute survey will help us to improve Tacoma’s ADU code, streamline the permit process, reduce costs, and improve clarity around building ADU’s.
