What affects the price

The materials you choose—from siding to kitchen finishes—also change the math significantly. Whether you’re building a detached unit or converting an existing garage shifts the permit requirements and structural work needed. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

What are the rules for ADUs in Florida?

Florida has state-level ADU guidelines, but individual cities like Tallahassee may have their own specific zoning ordinances and permitting processes. These rules often cover things like minimum lot size, setback requirements, and maximum unit size. Understanding these local regulations is key to a smooth building process.

Is an ADU allowed in Tallahassee?

Yes, ADUs are generally permitted in Tallahassee, but specific regulations apply. These rules dictate where on your property an ADU can be built, its size, and how it can be accessed. Local planning departments have the definitive details, and the pros we work with are well-versed in these requirements.
