WHY BUILD A DADU IN BOISE?
ONE PROPERTY.
SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
A DADU adds a fully independent living space to your existing lot — and with it, a range of options most Boise homeowners don't realize they have. Rental income. Multi-generational living. A private guest space. A long-term equity play. Whatever your goal, a well-built DADU is one of the most versatile investments you can make in Boise. Whether you're in the established neighborhoods of the North End and Bench, out near the Boise Foothills, or anywhere across the metro, the demand for quality housing on residential lots has never been stronger. Boise's continued growth makes this an especially strong moment to build — and with 80+ completed projects, our DADU team brings the experience to do it right.

Boise DADU & ADU FAQs
Answers to the most common questions Boise homeowners ask about the process of adding a DADU unit to their property.
Can I build a DADU on my lot in Boise?
Most single-family lots in Boise zoned R-1B, R-1C, or R-2 allow DADUs. The minimum lot size, setback requirements, and allowable square footage vary by zone. We do a free lot assessment to give you a definitive answer before any money changes hands.
How much does a DADU cost in Boise?
Boise construction costs are broadly comparable to the Tacoma market — our completed projects range from the low $200s for a 448 sq ft McKinley model to $350,000+ for a fully finished 1,000 sq ft build. Ada County permit fees and Idaho Power utility connection costs affect the final number.
What are the setback rules for a DADU in Boise?
City of Boise requires a minimum 3-foot side setback and 6-foot rear setback for DADUs in most residential zones, though these can vary. ACHD right-of-way along alleys may also limit buildable area. We verify your specific parcel before design begins.
How long does it take to build a DADU in Boise?
From consultation to certificate of occupancy, most Boise projects run 10–14 months. Boise Development Services has improved permit timelines, but Idaho Power utility coordination can add 2–4 months depending on your location and service capacity.
Does Tacoma DADU hold an Idaho contractor license?
Yes. We are licensed and bonded in Idaho. Our Idaho contractor registration number and Washington State license number are listed on our About page and in the footer of this site.
