The City of Savannah is reviewing the current zoning standards for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to address the need for additional housing in our community. Commonly referred to as a carriage house, in-law unit, or secondary dwelling unit, an ADU is a structure used as an individual residential unit located on the same lot as the principal dwelling. It must have a bathroom, kitchen and bedroom.
Please refer to this section of the Zoning Ordinance for the current ADU development standards.
If you have any questions, please contact planning@savannahga.gov or call 912-651-3108.
