ADU- How much can you build?

An ADU in California needs a minimum of 150 square feet of space. This is typically about the size of a small bedroom or small studio apartment. Local governments can set minimum and maximum unit dwelling sizes, but the maximum unit size requirements must allow an ADU of at least 850?square feet, or 1,000 square feet for ADUs with more than one bedroom.?There is no height limit contained in state ADU law, but local agencies may impose height limits, provided that the limit is no less than 16 feet.

For local governments that don't have laws relating to ADUs, the maximum size of a new detached unit is 1,200 square feet, and an attached ADU can be up to 50 percent of the size of the main house.?

The requirements can change based on the size of the space. If you have any questions concerning the ADU and what your next steps need to be call us at (562)269-4844.
