Hooper
Confirm detached with the city
Hooper is a western Weber city with larger lots than the older east-side towns. Internal units follow state law. Detached standards should be confirmed; many lots here will clear the 11,000 sf statewide floor.
- Internal ADU
- Permitted in most residential zones under House Bill 82.
- Detached ADU
- Confirm with Hooper 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
- Lots here are often generous. 11,000 sf is the statewide detached floor from October 1, 2026.
- Size
- Per ordinance. The ADU cannot exceed the primary dwelling under the 2026 state floor.
- Parking
- Per ordinance, subject to the 2026 state cap.
- Owner occupancy
- Owner occupancy is typical. Confirm.
- Rental
- Long-term occupancy is the usual rule.
- Design
- Rural and large-lot patterns can support a quieter second building. We still design to the city’s setbacks and to the county health district for septic where it applies.
Notes
Ask early whether the lot is on sewer or septic. That changes the plan more than the ADU table does.
