Florida ADU Feasibility Checker
Screen a Florida property for common ADU planning issues before ordering drawings. The checker reviews the information you provide about the lot, existing home, ADU type, utilities, flood conditions, access, parking, and known site constraints.
Planning screen only - this tool does not confirm zoning approval or legal ADU entitlement.
Where is the property?
Florida ADU rules are highly local. County and city information helps identify what must still be verified with the actual reviewing jurisdiction.
Tell us about the lot and existing home
These answers help identify site-planning constraints. They do not establish a legal maximum ADU size.
What kind of ADU are you considering?
The drawing package changes depending on whether the ADU is new construction or a conversion of existing space.
Utilities, access and site constraints
These items often determine whether the next step is zoning research, a site plan, engineering, utility coordination, or a more detailed feasibility review.
How will the ADU be served?
Known flood-zone or waterfront concern?
Can people reasonably reach the proposed unit?
Is there existing room for parking?
Have ADU setbacks been verified?
Select the strongest known condition.
ADU Feasibility Screening Report
The score reflects the information and site-planning conditions you entered. It is not a zoning approval, entitlement determination, or permit guarantee.
A planning screen, not a zoning decision.
A higher score means the information you entered presents fewer obvious planning constraints and provides better information for a professional review. A lower score means more jurisdiction research, survey/site information, utility coordination, or design work is needed before an ADU concept should move forward.
The applicable city/county zoning code, building department, health/flood requirements, recorded restrictions, and project-specific professional review control the actual permit path.
