A fully independent living space
on your existing property

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a complete, self-contained home built on your lot — with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom. It's not a room addition or a renovation. It's a second home on your property that you own outright.

The financial & lifestyle case
is hard to ignore

ADU permit applications in the Tampa Bay area have increased by over 35% in the past two years — and it's easy to see why. Here's what's driving it:

  • Rental Income: Most St. Pete ADUs rent for $1,200–$2,000/month — enough to offset or eliminate your mortgage payment entirely.

  • Increased Property Value: An ADU adds significant resale value to your home — you're building long-term wealth right in your backyard.

  • Family Housing: Over 65% of St. Pete ADU owners built theirs to house family — aging parents, adult children, or extended family with full privacy.

  • Total Flexibility: Rent it long-term, use it as a guest suite, or keep it as a home office. Your property, your rules.
