Are you looking for a faster, lower-cost way to an accessory dwelling unit (ADU)? ADU designers/builders who offer standard construction plan layouts that are preapproved can offer their customers the City’s fastest, lowest-cost permit process.
Did you construct an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or convert a garage, basement, or room into a separate living unit — also called an ADU — without obtaining a building permit? Between now and January 2022, the City of San José is offering an ADU Amnesty Program to help you legalize your unit. Importantly, the program improves the safety of these units and helps to expand the City’s legal housing stock.
C.A.R. has put together a slide deck and a 1-page Quick Guide on current California ADU Laws.
Find out whether you are allowed to build an ADU on your property. Everything you need from local regulations, permits required, and proper procedures to legally build an ADU on your property.
They walk you through the entire process of building and renting an ADU in your backyard.
Programs, resources, and loans to help finance and plan your ADU.
