        "text": "Whether an attached ADU requires a separate address depends on local regulations and the intended use of the unit. In many areas, especially if the ADU is intended for rental, a separate address is often beneficial for utility billing, postal services, and differentiating it from the primary residence. However, some jurisdictions may allow the ADU to share the primary address with a unit designation (e.g., 123 Main St. Unit B). It's crucial to check with your local planning department and utility providers to understand the specific requirements in your city before construction.",
