1025 or 1004

[Fernando]

So what you actually have is one single family home

As of right now. Waiting to see if ADUs be finalized.

Since you regularly remind us that you do not think like other appraisers. I will guess "finalized" means, since you are the permit police. You are waiting for proof of permits for units that exist

At the rate this property is morphing. By this time tomorrow it is going to be a community of tiny homes with a common pool and clubhouse

So what you actually have is one single family home

and multiple adu's. talk about calling a pig a dog.

Subject is a SFR with an ADU.
Client wants it on 1025 but it should be on 1004, right?
Since they're paying me, I do as they say, right?

You advise your Client that appraisals of SFRs with an ADU are typically reported on the 1004 then, if they still want the report on a 1025.... that is what you give them.

There you go Fern. You got the answer that you wanted. Carry on

That is the opposite of the intent of having ADUs. The rental factor is a very strong incentive for their construction. Although each municipality has its own rules, the vast majority, if not all that I’m aware of, fully allow rentals. Many jurisdictions prohibit short term rentals of ADUs, requiring at least 30 days occupancy and with some requiring a minimum six months occupancy. It certainly varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but I’m not aware of any prohibition against rentals since in principle ADUs have been allowed statewide to help alleviate the housing shortage.

See, the problem with thinking you know everything is that it often just makes you sound like a fool (which is also often the case). You'd have been much better served to say, "In Oregon" and then continue with your tirade. But, of course, you didn't. As you may, or may not, know - all RE (as well as all zoning) is local. I've attached a snippet of a residential ordinance in one of the towns I work. It's similar to almost ALL the towns I work - insofar as, for most RESIDENTIAL zoning, rental of the ADU is not allowed. Does it happen? Of course it does. Is it allowed under the zoning ordinances? Not in the markets I work.

Sometimes less is more - especially when you're demonstrating your ignorance.

28.52.3 Accessory dwellings (including garage and detached units) may be permitted in residential zoning districts (see regulations for the specific district, and the use charts, section 28.49), and shall conform to the height limitations of the main structure. No such accessory dwelling or quarters shall be used or occupied as a place of abode or residence. (bold added by me)

Ale,

See, the problem with you making blanket statements about ADUs being prohibited from being used as rentals, as you so self-assuredly contend, is that all it takes is a single contrary example to demolish your claim. Speaking of being a fool, you demonstrate it all by yourself (which is also often the case, as you say). By the way, I was simply trying to correct your mistaken post. It's you who is personalizing and insulting.

You quoted this passage:

​ 28.52.3 Accessory dwellings (including garage and detached units) may be permitted in residential zoning districts (see regulations for the specific district, and the use charts, section 28.49), and shall conform to the height limitations of the main structure. No such accessory dwelling or quarters shall be used or occupied as a place of abode or residence. (bold added by me)​

Nowhere in the passage you quote does it explicitly exclude ADU rentals. In fact, the passage quoted seems to directly state that ADUs cannot be used as residences, which is curious (but that's another matter...)

So eat this instead:

https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/docs/policy-and-research/ADUHandbookUpdate.pdf

On page 22 of that California government publication, it states

"J) Renter- and Owner-Occupancy

• Are rental terms allowed?Yes. Local agencies may require that the property be used for rentals of terms longer than 30 days. ADUs permitted ministerially, under subdivision (e), shall be rented for terms longer than 30 days. (Gov. Code, §65852.2, subds. (a)(6) and (e)(4).)"

Better luck next time. Your insults only reflect poorly on you, which to quote you, "is also often the case".

Quick question: if you can't use an ADU as a residence, how could you legally rent it out as a residence? I swear, some folks will go to their grave looking the fool - just so they don't have to admit they had their head in a really dark place.

PS - quoting CA zoning documents provides zero perspective on zoning ordinances in Texas. Again - as you may, or may not, know - Texas and California are governed WAY differently.

PSS - this will be the last interaction with you - I think I made that decision some time ago as well, but apparently (and to my chagrin) I slipped. Won't make that mistake again.
