Washington ADU Builders & Casita Construction Quotes
Washington passed landmark bipartisan housing legislation (HB 1337) requiring all cities in urban growth areas to allow at least two ADUs per residential lot. Owner-occupancy requirements are banned statewide, and impact fees on ADUs are restricted, unleashing high-yield backyard cottage developments.

Washington Accessory Dwelling Unit Zoning & Building Rights
Statewide legislation in Washington has eliminated outdated restrictions on accessory homes, empowering property owners to create independent rental housing, multi-generational living suites, and home office casitas.
Governing State Legislation
Statutes: HB 1110 (Middle Housing) & HB 1337 (Statewide ADU Legalization)
These legislative measures restrict local municipalities from imposing burdensome lot size minimums, excessive setbacks, or owner-occupancy requirements.
Parking Requirements
Zero off-street parking mandates within 1/2 mile of major transit stops.
Primary ADU Construction Types
- Detached Backyard Casita: Free-standing independent dwelling with complete kitchen, bathroom, and separate utility meter or subpanel. Offers maximum tenant privacy and highest market rent.
- Garage Conversion: Converting an existing attached or detached 2-car garage into living space. Saves $40k–$80k on framing, roofing, and foundation costs.
- Factory-Built Prefab / Modular ADU: Precision-built in controlled indoor environments, craned into position onto concrete stem-walls, and completed in weeks rather than months.
ADU Financing Options
Homeowners frequently fund ADU construction through Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs), cash-out refinances, or specialized renovation/construction loans that factor in the projected future rental value of the accessory unit.
