So, you want to build an ADU, whether for an extra stream of revenue, a space for a family member, or something else, but you don’t know where to start?

You’ve come to the right place.

Firstly, we need to determine whether your property can be permitted for an ADU in the first place!

The requirements for building an ADU became simpler in 2023 in order to counteract the housing crisis!

Here’s a couple common requirements for ADU Construction:

• Have enough space – the minimum size for an ADU is 150 SQFT, offset at least 5-feet from the fence/property line.
• Have enough parking space for another resident OR be within reasonable distance from public transport.

Simple enough, right?

Depending on your city, there might be more regulations.
