Your rights

California law is on your side

State law sets the rules for ADUs, so your city can't simply say no. Eight rules every homeowner should know:

60 days

Your city must approve or deny a complete ADU application within 60 days.

Gov. Code §66317
800 sq ft

Cities must allow at least an 800 sq ft ADU, whatever your lot coverage.

Gov. Code §66321(b)(3)
4 ft

Side and rear setbacks can't be more than 4 feet.

Gov. Code §66314(d)(7)
16 ft

A detached ADU can be at least 16 ft tall — more near transit.

Gov. Code §66321(b)(4)
$0

No impact fees on ADUs of 750 sq ft or less.

Gov. Code §66311.5(c)
No

You don't have to live on the property to rent out your ADU.

Gov. Code §66315
2 ADUs

From Jan 1, 2027, cities must allow two detached ADUs on a lot with a house (AB 956).

Gov. Code §66323
HOA

HOA rules can't block an ADU on a lot zoned to allow a single-family home (AB 956).

Gov. Code Civ. Code §4751

Summary for homeowners, not legal advice. Based on the California HCD ADU Handbook (2026). Some details depend on your lot and city — we check them for you.

California ADU questions

More in our FAQ and ADU guides, or call (209) 214-6845.

Can I build two ADUs on my lot in California?

Starting January 1, 2027, yes — AB 956 (Chapter 791, Statutes of 2026) requires cities to approve up to two detached, new-construction ADUs with 4-foot side and rear setbacks on a lot with a single-family home. Until then, state law guarantees one detached ADU plus a junior ADU, and some cities already allow more.

Do you build ADUs everywhere in California?

Yes. We build across California — from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, San Diego, the Central Coast, the Central Valley, the Inland Empire and Sacramento. Send your address and we'll check your lot.

Is the price the same outside the Bay Area?

Yes. Our all-in price is the same anywhere in California, with no distance fee. It includes design, permits, foundation, delivery, crane, installation and utility hook-ups.

How much does an ADU cost in California?

Our all-in prices run from $75,900 for a Backyard Studio to $271,900 for a 2 Bedroom ADU, with launch pricing through December 31, 2026.

How many ADUs are built in California?

California jurisdictions issued 32,359 ADU building permits in 2025, according to HCD Annual Progress Report data — about one in four new homes permitted that year.

Can my city say no to an ADU?

State law limits what cities can require: they must decide on a complete application within 60 days, allow at least an 800 sq ft ADU with 4-foot setbacks, and can't require you to live on the property.

How is a prefab ADU delivered?

It's built in our factory in Lathrop, CA, trucked to your property, set on the foundation by crane and finished in about a week.

Can I rent out my ADU in California?

Yes. Cities can't require you to live on the property, but many require rentals of 30 days or longer.

Free · no obligation

Can you build an ADU on your lot?
