Confirm detached with the city
Internal accessory dwellings are a permitted use under state law. Public-facing detached standards are thin. We read the current Centerville ordinance with you before schematic design.
- Internal ADU
- Permitted in most residential zones under House Bill 82, with local lot, parking, and occupancy rules.
- Detached ADU
- Confirm with Centerville planning. From October 1, 2026, lots of 11,000 sf or larger with a house must be able to take a detached ADU as a permitted use.
- Lot
- Internal units may be limited to lots of 6,000 sf or larger. Detached: confirm; 11,000 sf is the statewide floor from October 1, 2026.
- Size
- Per ordinance. The ADU cannot exceed the primary dwelling under the 2026 state floor.
- Parking
- Cities may require one additional stall. The 2026 cap is one stall under 650 sf, two at 650 sf and above.
- Owner occupancy
- Owner occupancy is typical in Davis County. Confirm.
- Rental
- Long-term occupancy is the usual rule. Confirm short-term rental — most Davis cities prohibit it.
- Design
- Setbacks, height, and coverage remain local. Entry is typically side or rear.
