ADU Missoula

The city of Missoula has a shortage of affordable homes and a very low rental vacancy rate. This creates a situation where it is both difficult to purchase and own a home, and to find reasonably priced and decent quality rentals.

Over the years the City Council has looked at many different tools and programs to help address our community’s housing needs. Currently, the City Council is considering a policy that will expand the use of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to all single family zoning districts in the city. This means that a person who owns and occupies their home will be allowed to add a small rental unit to their property regardless of the zone they live in. This could be a basement or attic apartment or possibly a backyard cottage.

Thanks to those of you who took the ADU Questionnaire, which remains open. More information about ADUs are also provided on this website. Sample statistics about Missoula are available with Quick Facts, U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (2006-2010).
