The Florida Senate recently passed the “granny flats” bill (SB 184), opening the door for homeowners in St. Petersburg to add accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to their properties. These small, self-contained living spaces are perfect for multi-generational families, rental income, or flexible workspaces – and they’re about to become a game-changer in the Sunshine State. CASK Construction is committed to learning and sharing Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) news and updates with our local communities – SUBSCRIBE to our Newsletter for continued updates.
Why ADUs Matter for St. Petersburg
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also known as “granny flats ” or “carriage houses,” offer homeowners a smart way to increase property value while helping address the state’s growing housing shortage. With the rising cost of living and a tight rental market, ADUs provide affordable, practical housing options without requiring major infrastructure changes.
A Boost for Workforce Housing
This bill directly supports workforce housing, making it easier for homeowners to add these valuable units. This move is expected to fill the “missing middle” in the housing market, providing much-needed flexibility for both homeowners and renters.
