What drives Meridian ADU / Guest House cost

ADUs carry a full house's systems on a small footprint, so per-square-foot costs run high—foundations, separate utility connections, and septic capacity (common on Douglas County acreage lots) are major cost centers. Zoning is the biggest variable: Douglas County limits ADU size and requires it to be subordinate to the primary residence, and well/septic permitting through Tri-County Health can add months. Matching the main home's luxury finish level and any required fire-sprinkler systems push the upper tiers.

FAQ

ADU / Guest House in Meridian — Frequently Asked

Are ADUs allowed in Douglas County?

Yes, but with restrictions—size is typically capped relative to the main home, only one ADU per lot is permitted in most zones, and rural lots must verify well and septic capacity before approval; we handle the full zoning and permitting review up front.

Do I need a separate septic system for a guest house?

Often yes on unincorporated acreage; either your existing system must be re-engineered for the added load or a new field installed, which can add $30,000–$75,000 and requires Tri-County Health approval.

Can an ADU be rented out?

Long-term rental of a permitted ADU is generally allowed, but short-term rental rules vary by community and HOA—we recommend confirming current Douglas County and covenant restrictions during planning.
