Arizona Governor Signs Law Permitting Casitas and Backyard Chickens

Arizona's new casitas law, signed by Governor Katie Hobbs, allows the construction of auxiliary dwelling units (ADUs) on single-family home lots in cities with over 75,000 people, aiming to address the state's housing shortage. While some see it as a way to provide affordable housing for families, others are concerned it may lead to an increase in short-term rentals rather than permanent residences. Governor Hobbs plans to address these concerns in the future.
