GENERAL QUESTIONS
1. What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary, self-contained living unit built on the same property as a single-family home. It typically includes a kitchen, bathroom, and living space.
2. Why should I build an ADU?
ADUs offer several benefits, including:
- Additional living space.
- Rental income opportunities.
- Increased property value.
- Housing flexibility for family members or guests.
3. What types of ADUs are there?
There are several types of ADUs, including:
- Detached ADU: A separate building from the main house.
- Attached ADU: Built as an extension of the main house.
- Garage Conversion: Turning an existing garage into an ADU.
- Basement ADU: Renovating a basement to create a living space.
- Internal ADU: Repurposing part of the main house (e.g., a spare room).
4. Do I need a permit to build an ADU?
Yes, ADUs require permits to ensure they meet local building codes, zoning regulations, and state laws. We can assist you in obtaining the necessary permits.
5. How much does it cost to build an ADU?
The cost varies depending on the size, design, and type of ADU. Typically, costs range from $100,000 to $300,000 or more. However, the value it brings back to your property will be much more than the cost.
We can provide a detailed estimate based on your specific project.
6. How long does it take to build an ADU?
The timeline depends on factors such as permitting, design, and construction. On average, it takes 6–12 months from start to finish.
7. What size can my ADU be?
The size of an ADU depends on local regulations. In California, ADUs are generally limited to 1,200 square feet but may vary by jurisdiction.
8. Can an ADU have its own utilities?
Yes, ADUs can have separate utility connections for water, electricity, and gas, or they can share connections with the main house.
9. Can I customize my ADU design?
Absolutely! ADUs can be tailored to meet your style and functional needs, whether you prefer a modern look or a traditional design.
10. Can I rent out my ADU?
Yes, ADUs can be rented out as long-term or short-term rentals, depending on local regulations.
11. Do I need a separate address for my ADU?
While not required, some homeowners choose to register their ADU with a separate address for mail and utility purposes.
12. Are there tax implications for building an ADU?
Adding an ADU may increase your property taxes, as it’s considered an improvement. Consult a tax professional for details.
13. Can I build an ADU on a multi-family property?
In California, recent laws allow ADUs on some multi-family properties, but the specifics depend on local zoning.
14. Can I convert my garage into an ADU?
Yes, garage conversions are a popular and cost-effective way to add an ADU, provided the garage meets structural and zoning requirements.
15. Are there financing options available for ADUs?
Yes, financing options include home equity loans, cash-out refinancing, construction loans, and local grants or incentives in some areas.
