What affects the price
Building an ADU involves several moving parts that shape your total investment. The final figure depends heavily on whether you choose a prefab unit or a custom build from the ground up. Site conditions are another major factor; if your property requires extensive grading, utility trenching, or foundation work, costs will climb. You also have to consider your choice of finishes, like high-end appliances or custom cabinetry. Navigating local permit fees and impact assessments also adds to the total.

It's crucial to consult with the city planning department for the most up-to-date local rules.
Is an ADU allowed in Maryland?

You would need to research Maryland's local zoning laws or contact a service provider in that state to determine ADU permissibility.
