Casitas and ADUs
A casita is not automatically a legally permitted accessory dwelling unit. Check the local jurisdiction's rules.
Nevada Homes with Casitas: Nevada Real Estate Guide
Casitas and guest quarters can provide space for visitors, multigenerational living or a home office. A listing description does not prove a guest building is a permitted dwelling or legal rental.
What to Know
Attached and detached options
Compare separate entrances, privacy, bathrooms, kitchen facilities, accessibility and utility connections.
Rental restrictions
Verify zoning, occupancy approvals, HOA restrictions and local short-term rental rules before projecting rental income.
Cost and maintenance
Additional conditioned space may increase insurance, maintenance, utilities and taxes. Verify permitted square footage.
Planning Checklist

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent out any casita?

Not always. Verify permitted square footage and appraisal treatment.
Why no casita-only MLS results?
