Today, the City of Raleigh launched NC’s first ADU Fast Track program and gallery . This makes constructing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) more obtainable for Raleigh homeowners by providing access to more than 10 pre-approved design plans at a lower cost.
ADUs are small, self-contained homes located on the same lot as a primary dwelling. You may know them as a granny flats, backyard cottages, or tiny houses. ADUs can be detached, attached, or internal to the main house and include a living room, sleeping area, kitchen, and bathroom.
Here’s how Fast Track works: First, you’ll choose a home design plan from the gallery and purchase it from the designer (plan set fees range from $400 to $1,700). Then, you’ll prepare a site plan to submit to the City. Once approved, you’ll get your permits to build.
