Four kinds

What a second space can be in Hyrum

A listing that says casita or ADU can mean four different setups. Pick one to see how it fits Hyrum's rules and what to look at.

What it can beAn inside ADU, with the owner on the lot

What to look at

  • The rules. Hyrum calls this an internal ADU. The owner lives on the lot, and the unit must be at least 300 square feet.
  • Parking. Four parking spaces with a hard surface must fit on the lot, meaning asphalt, concrete or brick and never gravel.
  • The way out. Hyrum asks for egress windows, openings big enough to climb out of, and smoke detectors in the unit.

What it can beA suite that may not count as an ADU

What to look at

  • The setup. A bedroom and a bath behind a private door, maybe with a kitchenette.
  • How it counts. An ADU is a second home with its own kitchen and bath. A suite with no full kitchen may not count as a second home, so ask Hyrum City how it sees the space.
  • Renting it. A legal ADU rents long term, 90 days or more, with a landlord license. For any other suite, ask the city before you count on rent.

What it can beA plan on paper, not yet an ADU

What to look at

  • Ready on paper. A listing may say a lower level with its own door to the yard is ready for an ADU. Read that as a plan, not a permit.
  • The timing. Hyrum takes no ADU application until the main home is finished and has the city's final sign-off. The permits come after that.
  • Plan it early. On a home not yet built, ask the builder where the door and the plumbing would go.

What it can beNew rules since October 2026

What to look at

  • The size. A detached ADU runs 300 to 1,100 square feet, or 550 square feet on each of two levels.
  • The height. A single story tops out at 16 feet to the peak, and two stories at 28 feet, where the unit keeps the same distance from the lot lines as the main home.
  • The owner. The owner must live on the lot, and a detached unit rents long term only.

Hyrum and the second space

What casita and ADU mean in Hyrum

In shortHere are Hyrum homes with a second living space. In October 2026, Hyrum adopted rules for ADUs, so this part of the city code is new.

Listings mix up two words. A casita is a design idea: a small, partly separate space, often a bedroom and a bath with its own door. An ADU, short for accessory dwelling unit, is the legal version: a second home on the same lot, with its own kitchen and bath, that the city approves.

The Hyrum council adopted its ADU chapter on October 15, 2026. It covers two kinds: an internal ADU, such as a basement apartment, and a detached ADU, such as a casita behind the house. A lot can have one, never both. The owner must live on the lot, and the unit rents only long term, with a city landlord license.

Because the rules are new, ask the city how the first permits are going. My base is Southern Utah, so for a Hyrum home I connect you with a partner agent I trust in Cache Valley. Together we read the listing remarks and the permits before you write an offer.

A casita, a suite or an ADU?

The city rules

What Hyrum allows now

Hyrum adopted these rules on October 15, 2026, and rules can change. Confirm the current version with the city before you plan around a second space.

One unit, with the owner on the lot

A lot can have one ADU, inside the house or detached, never both. It is allowed on a lot with a single-family home, not on a multi-family lot. The owner lives on the lot most of the year, and the unit cannot be sold or split off.

The size of a detached unit

A detached unit runs 300 to 1,100 square feet, or 550 on each of two levels. One story can reach 16 feet to the peak. Two stories can reach 28 feet where the unit meets the main home's setbacks, the distances a building keeps from the lot lines. A balcony or a rooftop deck is not allowed.

Where it can sit

It cannot sit in the front yard or in front of the house. In the back yard, it sits at least 10 feet behind the house and 15 feet from the rear lot line. It cannot sit on an easement, a strip set aside for power, drainage or a shared road.

Rent and the license

A rental must run 90 days or more at a time, and the owner needs a city landlord license before anyone moves in. Short-term rental is not allowed in an ADU, and neither is subleasing.

Parking and utilities

What a second space asks of the lot

A second home on one lot means more cars, more pipes and more permits. Here is what Hyrum's chapter asks for.

Parking

A detached unit under 650 square feet needs one more off-street space, and one of 650 or more needs two. An inside unit, such as a basement apartment, needs four hard-surface spaces on the lot.

Meters and bills

A detached unit gets its own sewer and water connection and meter, unless an engineer approves a shared line. It also gets a double electric meter base with underground service. The city charges connection and impact fees, and bills two monthly service charges.

After the house is done

The city takes no ADU application until the main home has final occupancy, the city's last sign-off on a finished house. A detached unit needs a zoning clearance and a building permit, and it must sit within 150 feet of a fire access road.

What does not count

A tent, yurt, RV or camper never counts as an ADU, and a lot with a failing septic tank cannot have one. A legal outbuilding that already stands may be converted. A subdivision can also record CC&Rs that limit a second unit, so ask for them early.

Hyrum City Code, chapter 17.63 Accessory Dwelling Units, approved October 15, 2026, and section 17.28.075 for inside units.

The price

What a second space adds to the price

No public record says what a permitted second space adds to a Hyrum price, and the city's rules are too new to show a pattern. Ask the city how the first permits are going. Weigh each home against what similar homes nearby sold for lately.

The Census lists a typical Hyrum home at about $422,600, as owners report it, and not as a sale price. Price pages for Hyrum split the market at $600K.

How it works

How we find you the right second space

Homes with a second space list one at a time, and the labels are loose. A partner agent in Cache Valley does the legwork while I handle the research.

  1. Name the kind of space you need

    A true ADU, a basement apartment, a detached casita or a guest suite with its own door?

  2. A Cache Valley partner agent reads the remarks

    A partner agent I trust in Cache Valley reads each listing's remarks and plans for a second space, and sets up the showings.

  3. We ask Hyrum City

    We ask the city how it sees the space and which permits are on file, since the rules are new.

  4. Your Cache Valley agent drafts the offer

    On the tour, your partner agent walks the space with you and asks for the records. I keep handling the research and the loan questions for you.

Where to look

Where room for a second space may be in Hyrum

Hyrum's chapter allows an ADU on any single-family lot, but the distances and the parking ask for room. These areas have lots near or above the town median of 0.29 acre. A lot is only the starting point, so measure the back yard.

The center

The old grid around Main

The core has a median lot of about 0.38 acre, by county records. A back-yard unit must sit at least 10 feet behind the house and 15 feet from the rear line, so measure the yard.

Northeast of Center

Ridgecrest and Valley Drive

Median lots of about 0.32 acre at Ridgecrest and about 0.33 acre at Valley Drive. Both sit east of Center and north of Main.

West side

Westridge

Built between 1997 and 2025, the homes here sit on a median lot of about 0.28 acre. That is near the town median, so check the back yard against the 10-foot and 15-foot distances.

South of the grid

Rolling Hills

Homes built from 1998 to 2024, with a median lot of about 0.37 acre. A bigger lot leaves more room for the parking a second unit asks for.

The east side

Southridge Acres

Most homes date from 1998 to 2017 and sit on lots with a median near 0.28 acre. Ask the city how the rules fit a lot this size.

Communities and searches to look at first

The quick check

Is it an ADU, or a guest suite?

Tick each thing the home has. The drawing adds that part of the suite, and the verdict under it updates.

Main homeThe suite
This sample suite is only an illustration. Whether a real space is a legal ADU is for Hyrum City to say.

What the home has

What it looks like

The suite has all five parts of an ADU

A door of its own, a kitchen, a bath, a legal bedroom and a permit. Ask Hyrum City to confirm the unit is on record, and that the landlord license is in place if it is rented.

It looks like an apartment. Check the permit.

With no permit on file, this is extra space and not a legal ADU. Get the records before you plan on renting it out.

A private suite with no kitchen

The suite offers a private entrance and a bath but lacks a full kitchen. It may not count as a second home, so ask Hyrum City how it sees the space.

A suite inside the house

The suite has its own bath, set off from the main rooms. It is flexible space, but everyone still uses the same front door.

Tick what the home has

Homes in these results land between a plain guest suite and a full ADU. The boxes show which one.

Quick answers

Casitas and ADUs, answered

Not quite. A casita describes a design: a small, partly separate space, usually a bedroom and bath behind its own door. An ADU, short for accessory dwelling unit, is the legal version: a second home on the same lot with its own kitchen and bath, approved by the city. Hyrum's chapter covers a detached ADU, such as a casita, and an internal ADU, such as a basement apartment.

Yes, since October 2026. Hyrum's ADU chapter was approved on October 15, 2026. The lot needs a single-family home, the owner has to live on the lot, and the unit rents only long term. The rules are new, so ask the city how the first permits are going.

A detached unit may cover 300 to 1,100 square feet, or 550 square feet on each of two levels. A single story may rise 16 feet to the peak and two stories 28 feet, where the unit meets the main home's setbacks. It cannot sit in the front yard, and a balcony or rooftop deck is not allowed.

It can be rented long term only, for 90 days or more, and the owner needs a city landlord license before anyone moves in. Nightly rental is off the table in an ADU, and so is subleasing. The owner has to live on the lot as well.

Ask for the permit records and the landlord license. Then check for a door of its own, a full kitchen, an egress window in each bedroom and four hard-surface parking spaces on the lot. Ask Hyrum City if anything is unclear.

No public record says, and the city's rules are too new to show a pattern. The Census lists a typical Hyrum home at about $422,600, as owners report it. Look at what similar homes nearby sold for before you offer.
