Accessory dwelling units have been known as in-law units, granny flats, and secondary units. They provide a dwelling space in addition to the primary residence to house long term tenants or visiting family members and friends. ADUs are allowed on any parcel in the City of South Lake Tahoe that is zoned for single family or multifamily dwellings. In no case may an ADU be used for short term/vacation rentals.
