Attached casita homebuild style by Lennar

Maricopa is on the brink of a future in which you can build a nice private space for grandma, maybe in your backyard or attached to your house. That’s thanks to a new Arizona law going into effect Sept. 13.
State lawmakers and Gov. Katie Hobbs in June gave cities with populations of 75,000 or more the go-ahead to allow in-law dwelling spaces to be built separately or attached to single-family homes. The most recent mid-census estimate puts 75,078 people in the city.
The 75,000-population threshold won’t apply to Maricopa until the next official U.S. Census in 2030.
