ARIZONA'S ADU LAW

What Arizona's New ADU Law Lets You Build

House Bill 2720 took effect on January 1, 2025. Cities with 75,000 people or more must allow ADUs anywhere a single-family home is allowed. Near us, that means Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Tempe.

Your lot and your HOA still matter. We go over both at the free consultation.

  • Up to two ADUs per lot: one attached and one detached
  • Up to 75% of the main home's size or 1,000 square feet, whichever is less
  • No extra parking, and no setbacks over 5 feet
  • Long-term rental of the ADU is allowed

Casitas and Guest Houses

A detached casita gives family or guests their own space. It can also bring in rent. We build them from the ground up, from the slab to the finishes.

What's Included

  • Detached builds from the ground up
  • Full permit and zoning coordination
  • Complete interior buildout

Free consultation and estimate

What's Included

  • Garage to bedroom or suite
  • Permit coordination

Free consultation and estimate

  • Garage and room conversions
  • Complete interior buildout
  • Permit coordination

We hired Masizo Development to build our Casita and working with Steve was a pleasure. Steve did everything he said in a timely manner. One of the best things I liked is that Steve always stayed in contact with me and was always reachable. From the Design until the project was completed Steve made the project and all his contractors easy. All the subcontractors that Masizo used were as nice and friendly as Steve. We will be working with Masizo on the next project. Thanks to Steve and the entire Masizo Development crew.

We hired Masizo development to redo the entire master bathroom! Loved Steve! There's a lot going on in the world so finding good people that care was important. The team was great and make you feel like family. We plan on using them again for other projects like our future casita home build in Phoenix. Can't say enough goodness about this company you will be in good hands! Very responsive and thoughtful.

We decided to build a custom ADU casita from the ground up in the back of our home in Phoenix. Our plan was to build a new ADU for us to move into and rent out the existing front house out. We wanted to make sure that we hired a team that was well versed, not only ADU construction, but also has experience in custom home development. I liked the fact that Steve was licensed and communicated very well through out the entire project. This made the process a lot easier from the planning stage through the construction. I thought their team was very knowledgeable and professional. I was very pleased with their work and the timeline it was completed. They were very transparent the entire time and i am going to use them again in the future as well as recommend to anyone! Thanks guys

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ADU Construction Questions

Can I build an ADU in my backyard?

If you live in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler or Tempe, state law says your city must allow one wherever a single-family home is allowed. Lot size and HOA rules still matter. We check both at the free consultation.

How big can an ADU be?

Up to 75% of the main home's square footage or 1,000 square feet, whichever is less. A third ADU may be possible on lots over one acre, with conditions.

Can I rent out my ADU?

Yes. Under HB 2720, cities have to allow long-term rental of an ADU. They also can't require the tenant to be related to the owner.

Do I need extra parking for an ADU?

No. The cities covered by the law can't require extra parking for an ADU, or setbacks over 5 feet.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We handle permit and zoning coordination on every ADU we build, and we schedule the city inspections.

Is the consultation free?

Yes. We come out, look at your lot and talk through what you want to build. You get a clear quote with no obligation.
