Accessory Dwelling Units

ADU Rules in Ogden

Ogden's ADU application lists these requirements.

  • The property owner living in either the main dwelling or the ADU as a primary residence, with the rented unit limited to two adults, with or without minor children
  • A detached ADU of at least 300 and no more than 800 square feet, with the unit and any other accessory buildings together covering no more than 25 percent of the rear yard
  • A home that keeps its single-family appearance and is altered only to meet the current building code
  • Existing entrances left unchanged where possible, with any new ADU entrance on the side or rear of the building
  • Entry doors and bedroom egress windows that meet the current building code
  • The two required off-street parking spaces, with no added parking in the front or side yard
  • A permit that becomes void when the property changes ownership

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