How current is this?
Renton’s ADU rules run under RMC 4-2-110C (Renton Municipal Code) (Ordinance 6160 (amended by Ord 6173)). Renton adopted its HB 1337 compliance package in June 2025 (Ord 6160) and amended it again five months later (Ord 6173, November 2025) — two rule changes in one year. Its PRADU pre-approved plan program is among the most generous in the state. We verified this answer against primary sources on August 19, 2026, and every change we catch is logged in the changelog.
