Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from homeowners considering ADU construction projects.
Yes, ADUs require building permits and must comply with local zoning regulations, setback requirements, and building codes.
Most jurisdictions allow ADU rentals, though some areas have restrictions on short-term rentals or require owner occupancy of the main residence.
Most ADU projects take four to eight months from design to completion, depending on size, complexity, and permit processing times.
