Bellevue sits at the heart of King County's Eastside, where high property values make an ADU one of the strongest ways to add rental income or multigenerational living space. Since Washington's HB 1337 removed owner-occupancy and parking mandates statewide, Eastside homeowners have far more flexibility to add a detached DADU or attached unit. The builders below work throughout Bellevue and the surrounding Eastside communities.

ADU FAQs for Bellevue

Can I rent out an ADU in Bellevue?

Yes. Since HB 1337 removed statewide owner-occupancy and most ADU-specific parking mandates, Bellevue homeowners can rent an accessory dwelling unit for long-term income. Given Eastside property values, an ADU is one of the higher-return additions in the area.

Who handles ADU permits in Bellevue?

ADU permits in Bellevue are reviewed by the City of Bellevue's Development Services / Permit Center. Requirements cover setbacks, height, and utility connections, and a detached DADU is reviewed separately from an attached unit.

What's the difference between an attached ADU and a DADU in Bellevue?

An attached ADU shares a wall with or is built inside the existing home (such as a basement or above-garage unit), while a DADU is a standalone backyard cottage. Both are allowed on most Bellevue lots under HB 1337; the right choice depends on lot size, budget, and privacy goals.
