Syracuse

Detached allowed

Internal and detached accessory dwellings are allowed. A recorded deed restriction is part of the city’s process. Parking scales with bedroom count.

Internal ADU

Permitted, subject to the city’s ADU ordinance and a deed restriction.

Detached ADU

Permitted. Confirm current size, setback, and coverage limits with Syracuse Community Development.

Lot

Confirm with the city. From October 1, 2026, lots of 11,000 sf or larger with a house have a statewide detached path.

Size

Per Syracuse ordinance. The 2026 state floor prevents a cap except that the ADU cannot exceed the primary dwelling.

Parking

Varies by bedroom count. Plan for at least one additional stall.

Owner occupancy

Owner occupancy is required. The deed restriction runs with the land.

Rental

Long-term occupancy. Confirm short-term rental with the city — it is restricted in most of Davis County.

Design

The lot must keep a single-family appearance. We design entry, parking, and the relationship to the main house together.
