ADU Construction In Show Low
How long does it take to build an ADU in Show Low?
Most ADU builds complete in 60–120 days from permit approval.
The permit process itself typically adds 4–12 weeks depending on your jurisdiction. When you come in for your free site assessment, we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific property — not a number we made up to win your business.
What does an ADU cost to build in the White Mountains?
Most ADUs in the White Mountains range from $120,000–$250,000 depending on size, type, and finishes.
A garage conversion will cost less than a detached new build. We don’t give vague “it depends” answers — after your free site assessment, you’ll get a detailed scope and a real number. No bait-and-switch pricing once construction starts.
Do I need a permit to build an ADU on my property?
Yes — and any contractor who tells you otherwise is a liability, not a bargain.
Every ADU we build is fully permitted through your local municipality. Unpermitted ADUs cannot be legally rented, trigger issues at resale, and expose you to fines. We handle the entire permit process in-house, including plan submittal and inspection coordination.
Can I rent out my ADU?
Yes — and in the White Mountains of Arizona, a well-built ADU can generate $900–$1,500/month year-round, more during peak season.
Show Low and the White Mountains are a year-round destination — summer heat refugees from the Valley, winter cabin seekers, and a growing permanent population. That demand makes ADU rentals here genuinely attractive. Arizona state law prohibits cities from banning ADU rentals outright, and Show Low’s short-term rental market is active. That’s consistent monthly income sitting unused on your property right now.
Will an ADU increase my property value?
Yes — and White Mountains properties with income-producing units are increasingly rare and desirable.
Show Low real estate has appreciated steadily as more Arizona residents seek elevation and cooler temperatures. Adding a permitted, income-producing ADU makes your property significantly more attractive to future buyers — especially investors and multigenerational families. An appraiser will factor in both the structure value and the rental income stream. You’re not just adding square footage, you’re adding a second revenue source to the property.
What’s the difference between a detached ADU, an attached ADU, and a JADU?
Different structures, same goal — adding livable square footage to your Show Low property.
A detached ADU is a fully separate structure — its own foundation, walls, and utilities. An attached ADU shares a wall with your primary home but has its own entrance and living space. A Junior ADU (JADU) is converted from existing space inside your home — typically a garage or large bedroom — and is the most affordable entry point. Show Low’s lot sizes and terrain vary significantly across the area, so which type makes sense depends on your specific property. We’ll figure that out together at your free site assessment.
Do I need to live on the property to build an ADU in Show Low?
In most cases, no — Arizona has eliminated owner-occupancy requirements in most jurisdictions.
Arizona SB 1103 (2022) significantly loosened ADU restrictions statewide, including removing owner-occupancy requirements in many jurisdictions. We pull the current zoning and municipal code for your specific Show Low property before we ever talk numbers — so you know exactly what you’re allowed to build before you spend a dime.
Why shouldn’t I just hire a cheaper contractor in the White Mountains?
Because ADUs are a specialized build — and most local GCs have never permitted one.
Most general contractors in the Show Low area have built a handful of ADUs, if any. Permitting an ADU requires knowledge of setback rules, utility connection requirements, fire separation codes, and city-specific submittal processes. One mistake adds months and thousands of dollars to your project. We know exactly what Show Low requires and we handle the entire permit process in-house — from plan submittal to final inspection sign-off.
