Condoizing a DADU in Seattle generally follows six steps: completing construction, commissioning a licensed survey, drafting a condominium declaration, forming a homeowners association, looping in your lender if there’s an existing mortgage, and recording everything with King County.
Under Washington’s HB 1337, cities and counties can no longer prohibit a homeowner from selling a DADU as its own condominium unit, separate from the main house — and they can no longer require you to live in either unit as a condition of doing so.
If your plan is to build a DADU and sell it — not rent it out — your financing needs to be built around a sale, not years of rental income.
