Accessory Dwelling Units

ADU Rules in Holladay

Section 13.14.031 of Holladay's zoning code, as amended by Ordinance 2024-18 on November 7, 2024, sets requirements for internal and external units that include these.

  • A building permit and a Certificate of Occupancy for every ADU
  • A minimum rental of 30 consecutive days and annual approval of a license while the unit is rented
  • The owner or an immediate family member living on the property, apart from the owner's bona fide temporary absence of three years or less for military service, a work assignment, a sabbatical, or voluntary service, if the owner lived in the home immediately before leaving and resumes living there on return
  • One additional on-site parking stall for an internal ADU, plus replacement of any parking displaced by converting a garage or carport, and parking for an external ADU set by its number of bedrooms
  • The home's address with "Unit B" added
  • No separate utility meters, and unobstructed tenant access to the water and gas shutoffs, the electrical panel, and the HVAC equipment
  • No ADU on a property with a failing septic tank
  • In an internal ADU, egress windows that meet the city's minimum size standards, for existing and new construction
  • For an external ADU, a footprint of at least 200 square feet and no larger than the city's chart allows for the lot size, from 800 square feet on a lot under 8,000 square feet to 1,400 square feet on a lot over 80,600 square feet
  • For an external ADU, the accessory building setbacks in the city's chart, which can be reduced with listed treatments such as a masonry wall or a single-story design
  • For an external ADU, a height of no more than 25 feet
  • For an external ADU, dark-sky lighting at 5,000 kelvin or warmer, aimed so no cone of light crosses a property line, and controlled by timers, dimmers, or sensors
  • For an external ADU, no doors, windows, patios, or garage doors opening into a required setback, and the setback areas landscaped as a buffer

Utah's ADU statutes apply in Holladay as well, as our ADU page explains.

Sources: Holladay Code, Section 13.14.031; Utah Code 10-21-304; Utah Code 10-21-101. The City Council's agenda for October 1, 2026, included a public hearing and an ordinance on amendments to the accessory dwelling unit rules in Title 13 for the 2026 state law on detached ADUs. As of October 22, 2026, the city had posted neither an adopted text nor the minutes of that meeting. We confirm the current section for your property before design.

What Homeowners Ask

Holladay Remodeling and Permit Questions

Can I rent an ADU in Holladay?

Yes, for 30 consecutive days or longer, provided the owner or an immediate family member lives on the property and the rental license is approved each year. The owner-occupancy rule does not apply during the owner's bona fide temporary absence of three years or less for military service, a work assignment, a sabbatical, or voluntary service. The exception applies only if the owner lived in the home immediately before leaving and resumes living there on return.

Can I build a detached ADU in Holladay?

Yes, on a lot with a detached single-family home in a residential zone. The unit needs a footprint of at least 200 square feet and no larger than the city's chart allows for the lot size, a height of no more than 25 feet, and the accessory building setbacks. The city lets an owner reduce those setbacks with treatments such as a masonry wall or a single-story design.
