Austin has some of the most progressive ADU regulations in the state, making it one of the best cities in Texas to add a backyard living space to your property.
The city has steadily loosened restrictions on accessory dwelling units, allowing them on most single-family residential lots with reasonable size and setback requirements. Whether you're in the established neighborhoods near downtown or the growing suburbs of Williamson County, the regulatory environment supports what homeowners increasingly want: more flexible use of their own land.
Elbow Room brings San Antonio craftsmanship to Austin builds, with a team that knows the permitting landscape across all three metro counties.
