Riverdale
Confirm detached with the city
Internal accessory dwellings follow state law. Detached standards should be confirmed with Riverdale planning. The October 2026 statewide floor applies to 11,000 sf lots.
- Internal ADU
- Permitted in most residential zones under House Bill 82.
- Detached ADU
- Confirm with the city. 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
- Confirm. Many Riverdale lots are tighter than 11,000 sf — feasibility is whether the building fits, not only whether the code allows it.
- 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
- Setbacks, height, and coverage remain local.
Notes
A parcel map and a call to Riverdale planning will tell you more than a generic ADU article.
