Yes. Casita, in-law suite, and granny flat are all common names for what Nevada jurisdictions formally
call an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The Nevada legal definition of an ADU is a structure on the
property of a primary residence (or as an addition to it) that has its own kitchen and bathroom. The
kitchen requirement is what separates an ADU from a converted bedroom or bonus room. Nevada AB
396 uses the formal ADU terminology, but the law applies to anything most homeowners would call a
casita.
