Attendees take a self-guided tour of ADUs in Portland at their own pace. This tour contains a new set of 13+ ADUs throughout Portland, never featured on the ADU Tour before. This year’s ADU Tour will feature:

• Tiny Houses on Wheels. Homeowners are now allowed to have one occupied RV in accordance with City of Portland statutes. This tour will feature two of them.
• Two ADUs: The tour will include two stacked ADUs, a property with a detached ADU and an internal ADU, and a duplex with an ADU. These are all new housing types allowed in Portland beginning in 2021.
• A Cottage Cluster. See a new option for building multiple cottages on a property.
• A Condoized ADU– ADU condoization is now becoming a larger phenomena on the West coast. Condoized ADUs don’t look different than regular ADUs necessarily. Rather, it’s just a novel legal way to sell the ADU separately from the primary house.
• A Prefab ADU. See a turnkey-ready ADU that allowed the homeowner to bypass much of the design work and associated costs of custom ADU development.

ADU Tour Booklets and Wristbands

In order to visit the ADUs, you will need ADU tour booklets and wristbands.

Your ADU Tour program and wristband will mailed to you if you bought the early bird ticket.

Regular ticket holders will be able to pick up the ADU tour booklets and wristbands on the day of the tour at the registration site. When picking up them up, you do not need to print out a physical copy of your ticket. You’ll just need to bring a photo ID. You can pick up booklets and wristbands for others as well– just have the other registrants forward their confirmation email to you.

Registration Site

The registration site is 5300 NE 16th Ave, Portland, OR, 97211.

This location is one block south of 16th and Killingsworth.

Volunteer for the ADU Tour

Volunteering is a 3.5 hour volunteer commitment that comes with a free pass to see the ADUs during the period that you are not volunteering. Tour volunteers are assigned to a particular ADU, and check wristbands, tally attendance at the ADU, and answer basic questions about the tour. If you’re interested in volunteering, contact the tour organizer at [email protected] and we’ll get you set up. More information about volunteering is available here.
