We are here to help – call or email the Washoe County Planner of the Day (POD) to confirm property details and to help determine if your property meets requirements for a accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Virtual and in person appointments are also available.

Self-Service: Property Details

To help you learn about your parcel, the county also provides the Washoe County Regional Mapping System (WRMS.) This powerful, easy-to-use online tool will help you investigate the zoning, size, and municipal water and sewer services of your parcel.

Keep in mind that the key issues impacting your eligibility for an ADU are zoning, parcel size, and whether your property is connected to municipal water/sewer, or is on a well and/or septic.
