How current is this?
Lynnwood’s ADU rules run under LMC Title 8 (Unified Development Code) — no standalone ADU section (Ordinance 3481 (amended by Ords 3492, 3507)). Lynnwood didn't amend its ADU code — it replaced its entire development code. The 2025 Unified Development Code (Ord 3481) scrapped Titles 18/19/21, and ADUs are now regulated as ordinary dwelling units under a units-per-lot model, with the details still being amended by cleanup ordinances. Anything describing 'Lynnwood's ADU chapter' predates the UDC. We verified this answer against primary sources on August 19, 2026, and every change we catch is logged in the changelog.
