        "text": "An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, is a self-contained residential living space located on the same parcel of land as a primary single-family home. It includes dedicated sleeping, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. Common configurations include detached backyard cottages, attached additions, above-garage apartments, or converted interior spaces like garages. In multigenerational arrangements, families often refer to them as in-law suites, mother-in-law apartments, or granny flats, though the exact technical classification and structural scope are established during the initial design consultation.",
