Pinellas Park permits accessory dwelling units in eligible residential zoning districts under Land Development Code Section 18-1530, subject to setbacks, lot coverage, owner-occupancy expectations, and consistency with the primary single-family dwelling.
Under Land Development Code Chapter 18, Article 15, Section 18-1530 (Accessory Use and Supplementary District Regulations), Pinellas Park regulates accessory dwellings as a use accessory to a permitted single-family residence. ADUs must comply with the underlying district's setback, height, and lot coverage standards, and the property must remain a single-family use of record. Building permits are required, and units must connect to approved water and sewer service. Pinellas County's 2024 ADU update (county-level) raised maximum ADU size to 1,000 square feet, but Pinellas Park applies its own municipal LDC standards within city limits. Confirm zoning before construction.
Building without permits, exceeding setbacks/coverage, or operating an unpermitted second dwelling can trigger code enforcement fines and orders to remove the structure.
