Can You Convert a Garage Into Living Space in Lake Oswego?

Yes. In Lake Oswego, a converted garage can become an attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or added living space. Key rules from the City of Lake Oswego:

  • ADUs can be up to 800 sq ft of floor area.
  • Most residential zones allow one ADU per lot with a single-family home; ADUs are not allowed in the R-W (Residential-Waterfront) zone, and some overlays add requirements.
  • Converting a garage into living space requires building permits and inspections — check with the city’s Planning and Building departments early.
