The average cost to build an ADU in Florida depends on size, layout, and finishes. At Goshen Tiny Homes, our ADUs are block-built on slab foundations and priced with full transparency. Here’s what our clients typically invest:
| ADU Type | ADU Price Range |
|---|---|
| Studio | $75,000 – $110,000 |
| One-Bedroom | $110,000 – $155,000 |
| Two-Bedroom | $155,000 – $200,000 |
These are our actual pricing ranges, not broad industry averages. Costs vary based on square footage, finishes, and design choices — for example, a larger ADU with upgraded kitchens or baths will fall at the higher end.
Some builders advertise low “base prices” but leave out essentials like utility hookups or permits. Goshen’s pricing is true turnkey, so you know exactly what’s included from day one.

Here are some of the most common ways to finance an ADU:

With Goshen Tiny Homes, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or tiny home can be built in several locations on your property, depending on setbacks and local zoning rules:
Florida ADU placement rules vary by county, but Goshen handles zoning research upfront so you know your ADU setbacks and exact options before design begins.
👉 Want to know if you can build an ADU in your backyard? Schedule a free site review today, and we’ll confirm setbacks, zoning, and show you the best placement for your Goshen ADU.
At Goshen Tiny Homes, every ADU is 100% site-built using traditional construction code — never prefabricated kits. Our ADUs are block-built on slab foundations, inspected at every stage, and fully permitted to Florida Building Code Section 110.3 standards, ensuring compliance.
This difference matters:
Whether you call it a tiny home, modular ADU, or backyard cottage, building on-site ensures your unit is compliant, insurable, and a true real estate investment.

Yes — you can build an ADU, tiny house on a property with a septic system in Florida, but the Health Department must approve septic capacity before permits are issued. In most cases, you’ll have three options:
Most homeowners don’t realize septic capacity rules can delay or stop an ADU project. That’s why at Goshen Tiny Homes, we coordinate a full ADU septic evaluation report with licensed contractors and the Health Department before you sign a contract. This way, you’ll know the real cost and required option upfront — with no surprises later.

Yes — a block-built Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), sometimes called a tiny house, almost always increases property value in Florida. Because it’s built to the Florida Building Code and appraises like a new construction home, an ADU is treated as real estate — not a temporary structure.
Here’s why ADUs boost value and deliver strong ROI:
ADU ROI Example:
| Property Type | Build Cost / Value | Monthly Rent | Annual Income | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goshen ADU | $200,000 | $2,000 | $24,000 | 12.0% |
| Single-Family Home | $380,000 | $2,466 | $29,592 | 7.8% |
💡 For comparison: According to 2025 Florida real estate data, a typical single-family home in Florida (valued at $380,000, renting at $2,466/month) yields only a 7–8% ROI. That means an ADU investment can nearly double your return.
👉 Wondering how much value an ADU adds to a home in Florida? Schedule a free consultation today and see your potential ROI, rental income, and property appraisal boost with a Goshen ADU.
Yes — in most parts of Florida, you can legally rent out an ADU or tiny house, as long as it’s built to the Florida Building Code and properly permitted. Because Goshen ADUs are block-built, slab-on-grade, and fully permitted, they qualify as legal rental units that appraise like real estate.

Most homeowners want to maximize square footage — and at Goshen Tiny Homes, we make sure your design gets every inch the code allows. We confirm exact zoning standards upfront so you know what’s possible before design or permitting.

We specialize in block-built homes, also known as conventional construction.
Our process begins with a thorough site assessment and design consultation. Once the design is finalized, we commence on-site construction, starting with the foundation and proceeding with framing, roofing, and interior finishes. Additionally, on-site construction allows for greater control over quality and ensures a tailored turn-key solution that meets your specific needs.
And just so you know, our homes are made on-site, not prefabricated or modular.
Our on-site, block-built ADUs offer extensive customization options, allowing you to tailor our base models or design a completely unique ADU from the ground up.
Whether it's tweaking the layout, adjusting room dimensions, selecting kitchen fixtures, or making aesthetic modifications, we're here to help you craft the perfect space you've envisioned.
Here are some of the customizable features we offer:
Every detail on this list, plus many others, can be personalized for your new ADU.
Our Goshen ADUs are delivered to you fully equipped with all the essentials, including a complete kitchen, bathroom, living area, and the option for bedrooms should you choose to include them.
Here's a glimpse of the specific features that come standard with our ADUs:
In addition to these features, we offer a multitude of upgrade options to further personalize your ADU to your taste and needs.
Our ADUs are constructed on-site, which effectively resolves most access issues that could potentially hinder the building of an ADU on your property!
Moreover, we are confident that stick-built ADUs provide superior quality and add more value to your home. This approach often results in a superior final product and greater value for your investment, as stick-built structures typically appraise higher than their prefabricated or manufactured counterparts.
If you have any inquiries about our building process, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Our standard practice is to construct ADUs on a permanent slab foundation, providing a stable and durable base for your unit. However, we also offer the flexibility to build on raised foundations if that better suits your property or preferences.
As of the latest information available, homes on wheels are not generally classified as ADUs and cannot be permitted on your property in most areas, except for a few specific locations where local regulations may permit them.
For detailed information about foundation options or regulations concerning homes on wheels, feel free to contact us.
Certainly! You can definitely use your own or pre-approved plans for building an ADU. Just share them with us, and we'll get started.
ADUs can be versatile in their configuration:
Each type offers different benefits and may be subject to varying regulations, so it's important to check local zoning laws.
