ADU Permits and Zoning in Denver: What Homeowners Need to Know
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Denver require careful attention to zoning, permitting, and occupancy rules before construction begins. Homeowners must confirm lot eligibility, understand height and size limits, navigate city permitting timelines, and comply with owner-occupancy requirements. Working with an experienced design-build contractor helps streamline approvals, reduce redesign risks, and ensure the ADU is built legally and efficiently within Denver regulations.
Denver Permit Timelines in 2026: What Homeowners Should Expect
In 2026, Denver homeowners planning home additions, ADUs, or major remodels should expect residential permit timelines approaching 180 days under the City of Denver’s updated permitting goals.
