City ADU playbooks

Curated planning desks, local themes, and common pitfalls for Utah ADU Builder markets along the Wasatch Front. Always verify with the city — these are preparation guides, not permits.

• OremOrem is a specified municipality under S.B. 284. Use this playbook to prepare for Development Services with parcel ID, zone, and a clear internal vs detached goal.
• ProvoProvo combines statewide ADU screens with local design and occupancy rules. Student-heavy blocks and HOAs deserve an early covenant check.
• Salt Lake CitySalt Lake City already has a local ADU ordinance and is a specified municipality. Zoning is the make-or-break signal — look it up before you design.
• LehiLehi’s growth means many newer subdivisions and HOAs. Evaluate the property, then read CC&Rs before you sketch a backyard unit.
• SandySandy rewards a careful zone and hillside/overlay check. Commercial assessor classes usually fail the statewide single-family evaluation.
