Why ADUs Are Booming in Wyoming
It’s no secret: Wyoming’s housing market has seen ongoing price growth and limited inventory, shaping what homeowners can realistically build and afford across the state and in many local communities.
Built for longevity and designed with intention, our Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) models offer a practical way to expand a property’s potential without changing the character of a neighborhood or sacrificing main-home living space. Our pre-engineered ADU kits provide a faster, more organized route to high-quality construction, especially helpful in Wyoming, where planning and zoning authority is established through state statutes and exercised at the local level, meaning ADU zoning and permitting can vary by jurisdiction.
Our ADU Kits
Our pre-engineered ADU kits provide a faster, more efficient way to build a backyard house in Wyoming: each kit is designed to be custom-tailored to local climate conditions, zoning requirements, and lifestyle needs. Wyoming’s elevation and weather create big swings, so climate-smart design details matter from the start. Through our customizable ADU models, you can tailor everything from layout to bedrooms to finishes, with full plan details, flexible options, and dedicated services for every model.
And because ADU rules are typically shaped by local zoning and permitting, a plan that can adapt to your city or county’s requirements helps keep your project moving. Depending on your priorities, you can focus on an open-concept living area, additional storage, or even a private primary bedroom setup that still aligns with your property constraints and local requirements.

Average Cost to Build an ADU in Wyoming
An accessory dwelling unit in Wyoming often lands in a similar range as many accessory dwelling unit projects nationwide—frequently around $150,000 to $350,000, depending on size, design, scope, and site conditions on your property.
Because pricing can swing based on your ADU model, layout, and finish options, it’s best to request an estimate tailored to your build goals and site details. National data commonly places ADU construction at roughly $150 to $400+ per square foot, with costs shifting based on complexity, labor, and interior features like a full kitchen, added bathroom, extra storage, and the number of bedrooms. Variables like site access, foundation work, utility connections, and whether you’re building detached new construction vs. converting an existing space (like a garage) can also significantly change the final investment.

Permitting, Zoning & ADU Regulations in Wyoming
We have an in-house architectural design team that helps meet the specific zoning, building, and permitting requirements of your city or county, with permitting services designed to guide you through local approvals and review timelines across the state. Wyoming does not have a single statewide accessory dwelling unit law that overrides local zoning rules. Instead, ADU approval is governed primarily at the municipal and county level, meaning each jurisdiction determines whether accessory dwelling units are allowed and under what conditions.
ADU Incentives, Grants & Financing in Wyoming
Wyoming doesn’t have widely advertised, standing statewide homeowner accessory dwelling unit grants or ADU-specific fee waivers in the same way some other states do, but there are housing-support programs that can indirectly help move ADU projects forward. The Wyoming Community Development Authority administers major federal housing resources in the state—such as the HOME program and National Housing Trust Fund—that support broader housing efforts through local partners, which can include process or development work that helps communities add more housing over time.

How ADUs Can Boost Property Value in Wyoming
In high-demand parts of Wyoming, especially places like Teton and Park counties, tight rental conditions can make accessory dwelling units an attractive option for homeowners seeking flexibility and potential rental income. In fact, a 2023 survey estimated a 4.1% statewide rental vacancy rate, and reported extremely low vacancy rates in Teton (0.6%) and Park (0.3%), signaling markets where added living space like an ADU or backyard guest house can help meet ongoing housing demand.
Beyond monthly income, an accessory dwelling unit can help offset housing costs and support long-term property value—especially as home values rise across the state. Adding a functional, independent living space, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, storage, and a practical layout, can make a property more appealing and useful for families, guests, or renters in a competitive market.
