Understanding the IADU Opportunity
Recent changes in Utah law have made it easier than ever to create an Internal Accessory Dwelling Unit (IADU) in your home. This means your basement can become a legal, rent-generating apartment.
Key Requirements:
- Primary Residence: You must live in the home to rent out the IADU.
- Parking: Most cities require one dedicated off-street parking spot for the tenant.
- Size limits: The IADU typically cannot exceed 50% of the home's total square footage.
- Egress: Proper egress windows or walkout doors are mandatory for fire safety.
