In-Law Suites Arranged in Zephyrhills
A Zephyrhills suite that shares the family kitchen is an addition, not an ADU, so the city's 375 to 575 square foot range does not bind it.

Why Zephyrhills' in-law page is short
This page is short on purpose. Zephyrhills' sourced rule is its ADU section, which requires a kitchen and caps living area at 575 square feet, and the Zephyrhills cottage page sets it out. An attached suite that shares your kitchen is an addition to the house, permitted by the City of Zephyrhills Building and Code Enforcement Department. We arrange it with a vetted Florida-licensed contractor.

What in-law suites involves in Zephyrhills


The Zephyrhills kitchen decision
Decide whether your parent needs a kitchen. If yes, read the Zephyrhills cottage page for the ADU range; if no, the suite is a bedroom and bath addition reviewed for building code compliance by the city.
Zephyrhills' ADU rule and permit office
Zephyrhills applies its ADU rules to a defined core area between C Avenue and North Avenue and between 1st Street and 20th Street, with other properties reviewed case by case; an ADU must have 375 to 575 square feet of living area and a kitchen, and the owner must hold a homestead exemption on the property.
