        "text": "Minimum requirements for a garage to ADU conversion typically include meeting local zoning ordinances and building codes. This often means ensuring adequate ceiling height (usually 7 feet), proper ventilation, and sufficient natural light. The unit must also have its own separate entrance, a functional kitchen, and a bathroom. Structural integrity of the existing garage is critical, and upgrades to electrical, plumbing, and insulation systems will be necessary to meet current residential standards.
