Garage conversion rules in Page, AZ — sometimes called garage-to-ADU or accessory living unit conversions — govern permits, ceiling height, egress, and parking replacement.
Converting a garage into living space in Coconino County is a change of occupancy needing a building permit under the 2018 IRC. Add a kitchen and separate entrance and it becomes an accessory dwelling under A.R.S. §11-810.01.
A garage-to-living-space conversion changes the occupancy from a private garage to habitable space, so Coconino County Community Development requires a building permit and plan review under the 2018 IRC. The new room must meet residential minimums: adequate ceiling height, an emergency egress window in any sleeping room, smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, and insulation. In this cold high-country climate, insulation and a permitted heat source are essential, because garages are uninsulated and winters bring hard freezes and snow. Adding a bathroom or kitchenette brings separate plumbing and electrical permits. When the conversion adds a kitchen and its own entrance, it counts as an accessory dwelling under A.R.S. §11-810.01.
An unpermitted garage conversion is a code violation that can force after-the-fact permitting or restoration to a garage. Creating a second dwelling without accessory-dwelling approval adds zoning enforcement.
