Not published. Nearby North Florida / Big Bend counties typically allow 750–1,200 sq ft, or 25–50% of the main home (estimate).
This range is based on the published rules of verified neighbors: Alachua, Clay, Nassau, Putnam, Marion, Citrus, Duval, Sumter. It's a planning estimate, not Suwannee County's rule.
County seat: Live Oak. Call the county Planning/Zoning or Building Dept to confirm current ADU rules.
Before You Build
ADU rules are set by each county and city — Florida law (Fla. Stat. 163.31771) lets local governments allow ADUs but doesn't require it — and they can change, so always confirm the current rule with Suwannee County before you build.
Zoning is set locally and changes often. Answers are guidance only, not a permit guarantee. Always confirm with the local building/zoning department before purchase.
