Modern detached accessory dwelling unit in Spokane, Washington

What is an ADU?

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a smaller, self-contained second home on the same lot as a primary house. It can be a detached backyard unit, an attached addition, a garage conversion, a basement unit, or a junior ADU. Spokane-area homeowners build them for rental income, multigenerational living, guest or office space, and added property value.

The three jurisdictions, and every ADU type

ADU rules differ by jurisdiction, so the first step is identifying which one your lot falls under: the City of Spokane, unincorporated Spokane County, or Spokane Valley. Every ADU type is covered, including new detached units, attached ADUs and additions, garage conversions, basement units, and junior ADUs. Use the menu above to open the rules for your jurisdiction or any ADU type.

What it costs, and what happens after you send it

What does an ADU cost in the Spokane area?
detached new-build $110,000 to $260,000, garage conversion $50,000 to $120,000, prefab or modular installed $80,000 to $180,000. Add roughly $3,000 to $5,000 in permit, plan review and impact fees, which is an estimate from one source rather than a published fee schedule, so confirm it with your permitting jurisdiction.
How solid are those numbers?
Treat them as planning ranges, not prices. They come from two third-party estimator sites, ADU Zoning and ADU Wizard, both read in full on 2026-08-17, neither of them a government publication. The two land in nearly the same place on total project cost, which is why totals are shown here. They differ by roughly a factor of two on cost per square foot, so a per-square-foot rate is not a reliable way to budget an ADU here and none is quoted.
How fast will someone get back to me?
Your request goes to an independent local ADU builder, usually within about an hour during the day. The builder then contacts you to look at the property and price the project on their own schedule.
What types are covered?
Detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions and basement junior ADUs. See every type.

Only a builder standing on your lot can price your actual project.
