What is an Junior (JADU)
Built for efficient living
An JADU is a smaller living unit created within the walls of an existing single-family home. For North Texas homeowners, it can be a smart way to add private space for family, guests, or long-term flexibility without building a full detached structure.

What is an Acessory Dwelling UNit (ADU)
Built for private living
An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary, independent living space built on the same property as a main home — it has its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, but sits on the same lot as the primary house rather than being a separate property.
The defining feature isn’t size or style — it’s that it’s a legally secondary unit tied to a primary residence on one lot, which is what makes it a zoning classification rather than just “a small house.” That’s also why the rules for building one vary heavily by city: some cities allow them by right with a standard permit, while others (like Keller here in your service area) require a Specific Use Permit and City Council-level approval.
