Auxiliary Dwelling Units: Smart, Flexible Living for Utah Families

Auxiliary Dwelling Units, or ADUs, are secondary living spaces built on the same property as a primary residence. They’re also known as in-law suites, backyard cottages, or basement apartments — and they’re becoming increasingly popular in Utah for their versatility, income potential, and smart use of space.

At J Thomas Homes, we design and build homes that can accommodate ADUs — providing Utah homeowners with flexibility for extended family, rental opportunities, or future resale value. Whether you’re planning to care for loved ones or earn extra income, an ADU offers both practicality and freedom.

Benefits of Building an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit

  • Create additional living space for family or guests
  • Generate passive income through long-term or short-term rentals
  • Increase property value and appeal to future buyers
  • Enjoy privacy and independence while staying close to loved ones
  • Comply with Utah’s growing ADU-friendly zoning laws

ADUs make homeownership smarter — combining affordability, versatility, and sustainability into one practical housing solution.
