ADU rules in Daytona Beach, FL — also called accessory dwelling unit regulations or granny flat ordinances — cover setbacks, owner-occupancy, parking, and permit requirements.
Daytona Beach permits one accessory dwelling unit per single-family lot in zones that allow single-family detached uses, per Land Development Code amendments. ADUs must have a separate kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area, and a distinct entrance from the main dwelling. Architectural consistency with the primary residence is required.
An ADU may be a separate detached unit on the same lot or a unit within or attached to the principal dwelling with a distinctly separate entrance. ADUs must meet setback requirements, height limitations, and design standards complementing the neighborhood's character. The city's LDC text amendment (DEV2021-073) expanded ADU allowances. Parking requirements may vary by neighborhood. ADUs must comply with Florida Building Code requirements.
Unpermitted ADUs face stop-work orders and removal or legalization requirements. Fines of $500–$2,000 apply for unpermitted construction. Properties with illegal ADUs may face title issues at sale.
