The City of Reno continues to address the issue of affordable housing and is inviting the public to take
a surveyregarding the possible implementation of an Accessory Dwelling Unit ( ADU ) and Short - Term Rental ( STR ) ordinance . As of now , ADUs , sometimes referred to as ‘granny flats’ , are restricted in most areas of the City .
The nine - question survey hopes to collect diverse perspectives on ADUs and STRs and asks residents if they should be allowed in more areas of the City . The survey also hopes to identify what key areas should be addressed if an ordinance is adopted and how likely a resident is to build one on their own property .
“In the City of Reno we are exploring all options to help make it more affordable to live here , ” said Mayor Hillary Schieve . “People who work in the Biggest Little City should be able to buy a home here and build their lives here . Feedback from our residents is an important part of the process to make that a reality . ”
Residents can participate in the survey now through the end of February and make their voices heard on this critical matter . To access the survey and contribute to the conversation , take the

City of Reno ' s websitefor more information on ADUs , STRs , and other
housing initiativesgeared toward alleviating the affordable housing issue .
The results from the survey will be used to provide Reno City Councilmembers information in anticipation of a text amendment , which is anticipated for Summer 2024 .
Housing affordability continues to be a top priority for the Reno City Council and the Nevada State Legislators . Assembly Bill 213 , which passed in the 2023 legislative session , requires that on or before July 1 , 2024 the governing body of each jurisdiction shall create an expedited process for affordable housing , and create incentives that encourage affordable housing .
