Dwelling Unit.

One Property. More Possibilities.
Create space for aging parents, adult children, guests, a home office, or potential rental income while adding long-term function and value to your property.

How does the process of adding a casita with SunFlower work?+
Our process is simple and guided. It starts with a short phone call to answer your questions and gather initial details. Next, we schedule an on-site meeting at your home to assess your property and confirm building feasibility. Then, we meet — at our Phoenix office or remotely, wherever you are in Arizona — to discuss size, materials, design, and financing options with our financing team. Once you decide, we guide you through every step — permits, construction, and completion — ensuring a smooth experience.
Can I build a casita or ADU on my Arizona property?+
Many Arizona properties may be eligible for a casita or ADU, but what can be built depends on the individual property and local requirements. Zoning, lot configuration, setbacks, utilities, existing structures, HOA requirements where applicable, building codes, and local permitting rules can all affect a project. Sunflower Casitas can help homeowners evaluate their property and understand the next steps.
Can I rent out my casita?+
Where legally permitted, a casita may provide homeowners with an opportunity for additional rental income. Rental eligibility, demand, rates, and potential income vary by property, location, local regulations, and market conditions.
What sizes and designs are available for my casita?+
We offer customizable casitas in a range of layouts, including studio plans, one-bedroom units, and custom configurations with kitchens and bathrooms. Allowable size depends on your property and local requirements. In our design meeting, we'll explore materials (e.g., wood, stucco) and styles (e.g., modern, traditional) to match your vision and property.
