Your Guide to Backyard ADU Construction
Before you spend money on plans or permits, we’ll help you understand what fits, what’s allowed, and what your backyard ADU could cost.
Every month of delay means higher custom ADU construction costs, lost rental income, and less time enjoying the space your family needs.
On a $150k ADU, waiting twelve months can add $4,500–$7,500 to the same build
Need a place to live while you wait? Apartment rent at $2,000/month can add up to $24,000 in 12 months.
At $1,800/month, a year of waiting is roughly $21,600 in income that never arrives
Imagine a finished backyard guest house with more privacy, flexibility, family space, and rental income.
Keep family close without

Every month you wait is another month of lost space, income, and independence.

We are helping Broward County families navigate these exact decisions, creating dual-purpose ADUs that can transition from family housing to income property as your needs evolve.
Our Broward County ADU experts handle everything from initial design concepts to final walkthrough, ensuring your backyard cottage, granny flat, or rental unit exceeds expectations.

Broward County ADU regulations can feel overwhelming-but that’s exactly why homeowners choose Goshen Tiny Homes. While other builders get lost in the bureaucracy, we’ve spent years decoding the county’s zoning requirements, setback rules, permit processes, and building codes. The Broward County Planning Council has specific requirements that aren’t always clearly communicated, but we know them inside and out. While others struggle with the square footage limits, residential district restrictions, and hurricane-resistant construction standards, we’ve successfully built dozens of ADUs throughout South Florida.
Our expertise means your project moves smoothly from concept to completion, with full code compliance and zero surprises. We know exactly which residential districts allow ADUs, how to maximize your allowable square footage, and how to position your unit for optimal setbacks while preserving your outdoor living space. We understand the architectural requirements that ensure your ADU complements your primary residence while meeting all safety standards. This isn’t just about following rules-it’s about leveraging our deep knowledge to create the best possible outcome for your property.

We transform bureaucratic challenges into beautiful, functional tiny homes that generate income or house loved ones. Our proven track record with local building departments means faster approvals, fewer delays, and a stress-free building experience. Let us turn Broward County’s complex regulations into your competitive advantage. For more detailed information on local zoning, refer to the Broward County Land Development Code.
Goshen Tiny Homes doesn’t do cookie-cutter. Every Broward County ADU we build is custom-designed for your specific property, lifestyle, and goals.

We use premium materials, superior craftsmanship, and thoughtful design to create ADUs that maintain their beauty and value for decades.

Creating rental income? We’ll optimize for privacy, separate entrances, and amenities that command premium rates. Our ADU services include floor plans-whether 400, 500, 600, or 700 square feet-that maximize every inch through intelligent design. High ceilings create spacious feel, built-in storage eliminates clutter, and multi-functional spaces adapt to changing needs.

State law defines an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) as a residential space that includes a full bathroom and a kitchen, spans between 250 sq.ft and 1,100 sq.ft, and is officially permitted by local city or county authorities.
In Broward County, ADU regulations follow Florida state law while incorporating local zoning requirements. The most important section of the municipal code governing Sec. 39-272. – Accessory dwelling. ADUs are permitted in residential zones with single-family homes, provided they meet setback requirements, height limitations, and design standards that complement the neighborhood’s character. Broward County requires ADUs to maintain architectural consistency with the primary residence and may have specific requirements for parking depending on your neighborhood.
Broward County provides a comprehensive GIS Map Viewer that allows you to check your property’s zoning designation and various overlays that might affect ADU construction.

Typically, ADUs are positioned in the backyard, but they can also be placed in the side yard if there’s ample space, considering setback requirements, local codes, and any specific easements on your property.
