Miami Dade ADU Program

Miami-Dade County has approved an ordinance providing for the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or guesthouse in a single-family zoned district, either as a newly detached (standalone) or attached dwelling, including the conversion of a portion of an existing single-family dwelling. It provides some restrictions to ensure surrounding area compatibility, design compatibility, and the management of parking needs.

An ADU is defined as an attached or detached accessory building or portion thereof, that is used as an ancillary residential unit and is located on the same lot as the principal single-family dwelling; it has a separate kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area; and is intended for use by a separate family of occupants. Charging a fee, such as rent, to use an ADU separately from the principal dwelling shall not constitute unlawful duplex or multiple-family use.

A guesthouse is an attached or detached accessory building, or portion thereof, that is used as an ancillary residential unit, is located on the same lot as the principal single-family dwelling and is intended for use by only the occupants of the principal structure and their family and is not rented for a fee.

Home Addition Costs

The expense of constructing a home addition in Miami-Dade can vary, typically falling from $140 and up. This cost is greatly influenced by the specific features and materials chosen for the addition, as well as the location within the city or municipality where the home is situated.
