What is HB 2720, and how does it affect my casita or ADU in Phoenix?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Arizona HB 2720 (2024) preempted municipal restrictions on accessory dwelling units statewide — municipalities over 75,000 population must allow at least one detached ADU on any single-family lot. Phoenix updated its zoning ordinance in 2024 to align, but setback, parking, height, and HOA-deed restrictions still apply. Permit-ready casita plans often clear Phoenix PDD in 3-5 weeks.
